(“Agent” for Landlord), and eResearchTechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called “Tenant”).
     1. Demised Premises; Use.
          1.1. Letting and Demised Premises; Use. Landlord, for the term and subject to the provisions and conditions hereof, leases to Tenant, and Tenant rents from Landlord, the space being, for purposes of the provisions hereof approximately (i) 29,609 rentable square feet, comprising all the tenth (10th) floor (the “10th Floor Space”), (ii) 17,240 rentable square feet located on the ninth (9th) floor (the “9th Floor Space”) and (iii) 12,546 rentable square feet located on the Concourse Level (the “Concourse Space”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Demised Premises” and more particularly delineated on the floor plans attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part hereof), of the office building known as 1818 Market Street, or such other name as Landlord may from time to time designate, located at 1818 Market Street, City and County of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, a legal description of which is shown on Exhibit “B” attached hereto. The Demised Premises shall be used by Tenant only for general office purposes and associated incidental uses and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. The office building (exclusive of the garage and parking area associated therewith) located at 1818 Market Street are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Building”
          1.2. Common Facilities. Tenant and its agents, employees and invitees, shall have the right to use, in common with all others granted such rights by Landlord, in a proper and lawful manner, the common sidewalks and outdoor areas on the land underlying the Building (the “Land”), the common entranceways, lobbies and elevators furnishing access to the Demised Premises, and (if the Demised Premises includes less than a full floor) the common lobbies, hallways and toilet rooms on the floor on which the Demised Premises is located. Such use shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and to such reasonable rules, regulations, limitations and requirements as Landlord may from time to time prescribe with respect thereto. Landlord shall provide Tenant, between the hours of 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM Monday through Friday and, with a

 


 

call to the Building’s 24-hour per day security desk, at all other times, non-exclusive access to and use of the loading docks of the Building to enable Tenant’s shipping and receiving associated with its business operations at the Demised Premises.
          1.3. Rentable Square Feet. Landlord represents and warrants that the rentable area of the Building (excluding the garage and parking areas and non-tenantable storage space in the Building) has been calculated and determined to be 960,178 square feet. Relying on the foregoing, Tenant understands, acknowledges and agrees (i) that the amount of rentable square feet set forth in Paragraph 1.1 above and 4.1 (iii) and 4.1 (ix) are hereby accepted by Tenant for all purposes of this Lease, including, without limitation, for purposes of determining minimum rent, Tenant’s Share of applicable items of Taxes and Operating Expenses, Tenant’s construction allowance, if any, and other items which are based upon the computation of square footage. In no event shall the rentable square footage of the Building, for purposes of determining Tenant’s Tax Percentage or Tenant’s Operating Expense Percentage, be less than 960,178.
          1.4. Computation of Rentable Square Feet of the Leased Premises. In determining the area of leased premises at 1818 Market Street, the BOMA standard method of measurement is used to calculate the usable square footage of the leased premises. The calculated usable area is then multiplied by the building core factor for either a single tenant or multi-tenant floor user to determine the rentable square footage for both the low rise and high rise portions of the building.
     2. Term; Commencement.
          2.1. Duration. The term of this Lease shall commence (the “Commencement Date”) on the earlier of the following: (i) the date on which Tenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof for purposes of conducting business therein (not including Tenant’s entering the Demised Premises for purposes of installing furniture, fixtures and equipment as provided in Exhibit “F”), or (ii) November 1, 2008; provided that “Substantial Completion”, as defined below, of the Demised Premises has then occurred, or would have occurred had Tenant not delayed in its obligations to furnish Landlord plans and other drawings pursuant to the requirements of Exhibit “F” and Exhibit “F-1” attached hereto or otherwise caused a delay in the Substantial Completion of the Demised Premises. Unless extended or sooner terminated as herein provided, the term shall continue until, and shall expire on, the expiration of one hundred thirty-two (132) months following the Commencement Date, or if the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a month, then on the expiration of one hundred thirty-two (132) months from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.
          2.2. Substantial Completion. The term “Substantial Completion” shall mean that state of completion of the Demised Premises as more fully described in Paragraph 17 below and in accordance with Exhibit “F” and Exhibit “F-1” attached hereto and as evidenced by a certificate of completion for the entire Demised Premises issued by Landlord’s third party architect licensed in Pennsylvania, and which will, except for any minor “punch list” work (that

-2-


 

is, minor insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration) remaining to be performed by Tenant, allow Tenant to utilize the entire Demised Premises for their intended purposes (including the availability of required utility services) without the completion of such “punch list” work causing material interference with the customary business activities of Tenant. If Tenant takes occupancy of the Demised Premises, and Landlord or Tenant is cited for any violation(s) under applicable, current City of Philadelphia regulations, by reason of Tenant’s occupancy or the Landlord Improvements, Landlord will remedy such violation(s) and will pay any fines imposed upon Landlord or Tenant as a result thereof.
          2.3. Confirmation. When the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease is established, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and acknowledge a Confirmation of Lease Term, in the form set forth in Exhibit “C” hereto, containing the information set forth in Exhibit “C” and acknowledging the Commencement Date and expiration date of the term hereof.
          2.4. Acceptance of Work. On the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease, it shall be presumed that all work theretofore performed by or on behalf of Landlord was satisfactorily performed in accordance with, and meeting the requirements of, this Lease. The foregoing presumption shall not apply, however, (i) to required work not actually completed by Landlord and identified and described in a written punch-list to be jointly prepared and initialed by Landlord and Tenant at or about the date on which Tenant shall occupy the Demised Premises; or (ii) to deficiencies or inadequacies in the work which Tenant brings to Landlord’s attention in writing, with specificity, on or before the Commencement Date or within ninety (90) days thereafter (and all of the work so identified and described on the punch-list or as timely brought to Landlord’s attention as aforesaid which is Landlord’s responsibility shall be completed by Landlord with reasonable speed and diligence).
     3. Minimum Rent; Increases in Minimum Rent; Security Deposit.
          3.1. Amount and Payment. (i) Minimum rent for the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space together shall accrue during the term as follows:

Minimum rent shall be payable during the term hereof, in advance, in the monthly installments as set forth above, without demand, offset, abatement, diminution or reduction. The first installment shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease and subsequent installments shall be payable on the first day of each successive month of the term hereof following the first month of such term.
          3.2. Partial Month. If the term of this Lease begins on a day other than the first day of a month, rent from such day until the first day of the following month shall be prorated (on the basis of the actual number of days in that month) and shall be payable, in arrears, on the first day of the first full calendar month of the term hereof (and, in such event, the installment of rent paid at execution hereof shall be applied to the rent due for the first full calendar month of the term hereof).
          3.3. Address For Payment. All rent and other sums due to Landlord hereunder shall be payable to NNN 1818 Market Street, LLC at NNN 1818 Market Street, LLC-Prop Mgmt Lockbox, Acct. File 50411, Los Angeles, CA 90074-0411 or to such other party or at such other address as Landlord may designate, from time to time, by written notice to Tenant.
          3.4. Non-Waiver of Rights. If Landlord, at any time or times, shall accept rent or any other sum due to it hereunder after the same shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute, or be construed as, a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder.
          3.5. Additional Sums Due; No Set-Off. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not stated to be rent, minimum rent or additional rent (including, without limitation, the amounts due under Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 5 of this Lease), shall be collectible by Landlord as rent, and upon default in payment thereof Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as for failure to pay rent (without prejudice to any other right or remedy available therefor). All minimum rent, additional rent and other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid, when due, without demand and, except as expressly provided in Section 5.7, 8.2 and 10 of this Lease, without offset, abatement, diminution or reduction. Additional rent shall include all sums which may become due and payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with any of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease to be kept and observed by Tenant and any and all actual, out of pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, which Landlord may suffer or incur by reason of any default of Tenant. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in any court proceeding or in any bankruptcy proceeding relating to the exercise of Landlord’s rights under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Landlord’s rights under Sections 362, 365 and/or 503 of the Bankruptcy Code.
          3.6. Personal Property and Other Taxes. As additional rent and to the extent not included in Taxes, Tenant shall pay monthly or otherwise when due, whether collected by Landlord or collected directly by the governmental agency assessing the same, any gross receipts

-5-


 

taxes imposed or calculated on the Tenant’s rent or taxes imposed with respect to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or Tenant’s business or right to do business in the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, a gross receipts tax or sales tax on rents or a business privilege tax or use or occupancy tax, whether such tax exists at the date of this Lease or is adopted hereafter during the term of this Lease or during any renewal or extension thereof; but nothing herein shall require Tenant to pay any income, net revenues, estate, inheritance or franchise tax imposed upon Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant will pay promptly when due and in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of a bill (whether such bill be submitted by Landlord, the City of Philadelphia or otherwise) all City of Philadelphia or Philadelphia School District Use and Occupancy Tax imposed upon the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible to pay when due all taxes imposed upon all personal property of Tenant.
          3.7. Security Deposit. As additional security for the full and prompt performance by Tenant of the terms and covenants of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with the Landlord the sum of Two Hundred Seventeen Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Four and 46/100 Dollars ($217,854.46) (the “Security Deposit”), which shall not constitute rent for any month (unless so applied by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default). Provided that no Event of Default then exists, promptly after the end of the thirty-sixth (36th) calendar month following the Commencement Date, upon Tenant’s written request Landlord shall return one-half (i.e. $108,927.23) of the Security Deposit to Tenant, and Landlord shall thereafter retain $108,927.23 as the Security Deposit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Tenant shall, upon demand, restore any portion of the Security Deposit which may be applied by Landlord to the cure of any default by Tenant hereunder. To the extent that Landlord has not applied the Security Deposit on account of a failure of Tenant to comply with its obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned (without interest) to Tenant promptly after the expiration of this Lease and the full performance of Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, any payment due by Tenant as a result of a reconciliation of Tenant’s additional rent obligations). Until returned to Tenant after the expiration of the Lease and the full performance of Tenant hereunder, the Security Deposit shall remain the property of Landlord. Tenant confirms that Landlord shall have the right of set-off against the Security Deposit to secure all of Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under this Lease (including all amounts due under Section 3.5 above). In the event of a voluntary or involuntary Chapter 11 or 7 Bankruptcy filing by or against Tenant, Tenant agrees that the Security Deposit shall be used first to satisfy any pre-petition obligations of Tenant and any lease-rejection damages claim of Landlord, and thereafter, any remaining Security Deposit shall be used to satisfy any post-petition obligations of Tenant.
     4. Increases in Taxes, Operating Costs.
          4.1. Definitions. As used in this Paragraph 4, the following terms shall be defined as hereinafter set forth:
               (i) “Taxes” shall mean all Federal, state, county, local or municipal taxes, fees, assessments, or other impositions of whatever kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, imposed upon the Building or the Land or with respect to the ownership of the Building or the Land or to any existing or future improvements thereto or thereon, all of the foregoing as allocable and attributable to each given calendar year which occurs during the

-6-


 

term of this lease (and any renewals and extensions thereof). Taxes shall include, without limitation, real estate taxes, any assessment imposed by any public or private entity by reason of the Building being located in a special services district or similar designation or any other tax based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be excluded from Taxes all excess profit taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, transfer taxes, other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building), costs, interest, fines or penalties due to Landlord’s failure to pay taxes by the deadline for payment of the full amount of such taxes and all taxes imposed upon the garage serving the Building (except real estate taxes not separately imposed upon the garage). If, due to a future change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income, profit or other tax, however designated, shall be levied or imposed in addition to or in substitution, in whole or in part, for any tax which would otherwise be included within the definition of Taxes, such other tax shall be deemed to be included within Taxes as defined herein. Taxes also shall include amounts paid to anyone engaged by Landlord to contest the amount or rate of taxes, provided that the amount so paid does not exceed the savings procured. Tenant acknowledges that the exclusive right to protest, contest or appeal Taxes shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion and Tenant hereby waives any or all rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by law to independently contest or appeal any Taxes. In no event shall Taxes for any year be deemed to be less than the Base Taxes for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Share of Taxes. If Landlord excludes the real estate taxes attributable to the garage for purposes of determining the Taxes for any tenant at the Building, other than Tenant, Landlord agrees to make the same adjustment for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Share of Taxes, including the Base Taxes.
               (ii) “Base Taxes” shall mean the Taxes (as defined above) allocable and attributable to calendar year 2009.
               (iii) “Tenant’s Tax Percentage” shall be six and 1,858/10,000 percent (6.1858%). This is equal to the ratio of the rentable area of the Demised Premises, as set forth above, to the total rentable area of office space plus the total rentable area of retail/commercial space in the Building (not including, however, basement or storage areas on non-office floors), which is 960,178 rentable square feet. Tenant acknowledges that the “rentable area of the Demised Premises” under the Lease includes the usable area, without deduction for columns or projections, multiplied by a load or conversion factor, to reflect a share of certain areas, which may include lobbies, corridors, mechanical, utility, janitorial, boiler and service rooms and closets, restrooms and other public common and service areas. Except as provided expressly to the contrary herein, the “rentable area of the Building” shall include all rentable area of space leased or available for lease at the Building, which Landlord shall have the right to re-determine from time to time, to reflect reconfigurations, additions or modifications to the Building, provided, however, in no event shall the rentable square footage of the Building, for purposes of determining Tenant’s Tax Percentage, be less than 960,178.
               (iv) “Tenant’s Share of Taxes” shall mean with respect to any calendar year, the product of (A) Tenant’s Tax Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount, if any, by which the total Taxes for such calendar year exceeds the Base Taxes.

-7-


 

               (v) “Tenant’s Estimated Share of Taxes” shall mean with respect to any calendar year, the product of (A) Tenant’s Tax Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount, if any, by which Landlord’s good faith estimate of Taxes for such calendar year exceed the Base Taxes.
               (vi) “Operating Expenses” shall mean Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket expenses without profit or markup in favor or Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord (except to the extent of any administrative or management fee set forth as an Operating Expense herein), adjusted as set forth herein and as allocable and attributable to each given calendar year which occurs during the term of this Lease (and any renewals and extensions thereof), in respect of the ownership, security, operation, maintenance, cleaning, repair, replacement (of component parts) and management of the Building and Land (after deducting any reimbursement, discount, credit, reduction or other allowance received by Landlord) and shall include, without limitation: (A) wages and salaries (and taxes and insurance imposed upon employers with respect to such wages and salaries) and fringe benefits paid to persons employed by Landlord to render services in the normal ownership, security, operation, maintenance, cleaning, repair, replacement (of component parts) and management of the Building and any security personnel for the Building, excluding any overtime wages or salaries paid for providing extra services for any specific tenants; (B) costs of independent contractors hired for, and other costs in connection with the ownership, security, operation, maintenance, cleaning, repair, replacement (of component parts) and management of the Building; (C) costs of materials, supplies and equipment used in connection with the ownership, security, operation, maintenance, cleaning, repair, replacement (of component parts) and management of the Building; (D) costs of electricity, steam, water, sewer, fuel and other utilities used at the Building, together with the cost of providing the services specified in Paragraph 5 hereof, and, at Landlord’s discretion, costs of wiring, conduit and other equipment and facilities for distribution of telecommunication services (amortized in accordance with Section 4.1(vi)(3) below) to the extent such utilities, services equipment and/or facilities are not separately chargeable to an occupant of the Building; (E) cost of insurance for public and general liability insurance and insurance for the Building, including fire and extended coverage or “All-Risk” coverage, if available, and coverage for elevator, boiler, sprinkler leakage, water damage, and property damage, plate glass, personal property of Landlord located at and used in the operation of the Building, fixtures, and rent protection (all with such coverages and in such amounts as Landlord may elect in its commercially reasonable judgment or be required by Landlord’s mortgagee to carry), but excluding any charge for increased premiums due to acts or omissions of other occupants of the Building because of extra risk which are reimbursed to Landlord by such other occupants; (F) costs of tools and supplies; (G) the amortized portion of costs of “Essential Capital Improvements”, as defined in and to the extent permitted pursuant to Paragraph 4.1(vi)(3) below; (H) costs of alterations and improvements to the Building or the Land made pursuant to any “Governmental Requirements” (as defined in Paragraph 4.1(vii) below) which are not capital in nature (except to the extent permitted by Paragraph 4.1(vi)(3) below), and which are not the obligation of Tenant or any other occupant of the Building; (I) legal and accounting fees and disbursements necessarily incurred in connection with the ownership, security, operation, maintenance, cleaning, repair, replacement (of component parts) and management of the Building and the Land, and the preparation, determination and certification of bills for Taxes and Operating Expenses pursuant to this and other leases at the Building; (J) sales, use or excise taxes on supplies and services and on any of the other items included in Operating Expenses; (K) costs of redecorating, repainting, maintaining, repairing and replacing the common areas of the Building (including seasonal decorations) which are not capital in nature (except to the extent permitted by Paragraph 4.1(vi)(3) below), and which are not the obligation of Tenant or any

other occupant of the Building; (L) management fees payable to the managing agent for the Building (provided, however, that if management fees are paid to any affiliate of Landlord, then the amount thereof to be included in Operating Expenses shall not exceed such amount as is customarily being charged for similar services rendered by other owner/managers to comparable first-class Philadelphia office buildings of similar size) but in no event less than three percent (3%) of all revenues from the operation of the Building; (M) the cost of telecommunications service, postage, office supplies, maintenance and repair of office equipment and similar costs for the ownership, security, operation, maintenance, cleaning, and repair of the Building’s management and superintendent’s offices for services provided to the Building; (N) the cost of licenses, permits and similar fees and charges for operation, maintenance, repair and replacement (of component parts) of the Building, other than any of the foregoing relating to tenant improvements; and (O) any charges or assessments imposed upon the Building by the Center City District; and (P) without limiting any of the foregoing, any other expenses or charges which, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles generally accepted with respect to comparable first-class Philadelphia office buildings, would be construed as an operating expense, including, without limitation, any and all sums for landscaping, ground and sidewalk maintenance, sanitation control, extermination, cleaning, lighting, snow removal, fire protection, fire safety, policing, and security systems.
     (1) The term “Operating Expenses” shall not include: (a) the cost of redecorating or special cleaning or similar services to individual tenant spaces, not provided on a regular basis to other tenants of the Building; (b) wages or salaries paid to executive personnel of Landlord not providing full-time service at the Building; (c) the cost of any new item (not replacement or upgrading of an existing item) which, by standard accounting principles, should be capitalized (except as provided above or in Paragraph 4.1(vi)(3) below); (d) any charge for depreciation or interest paid or incurred by Landlord; (e) leasing commissions; (f) Taxes; (g) any charge for Landlord’s income tax, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes on Landlord’s business; (h) legal fees for the negotiation or enforcement of leases; (i) cost of tenants’ consumption of electricity in the Demised Premises, including but not limited to taxes, fuel adjustments, transfer charges and other like utility charges charged directly to tenants by the utility provider; (j) costs reimbursed by insurance, condemnation proceeds, other tenants of the Building or any other third party; (k) the cost of any work or service performed by Landlord for any tenant of the Building pursuant to the terms of said tenant’s lease to the extent such work or service is not provided to Tenant; (l) costs in connection with preparing space for a new tenant; (m) advertising expenses; (n) administrative wages and salaries of any person above the level of Building manager or any other general and administrative overhead of Landlord; (o) any bad debts, rent loss or reserves for bad debts or rent loss; (p) costs associated with the operation of the limited liability company or other entity which constitutes Landlord, as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Building, including company accounting and legal matters, auditing fees (other than in connection with the preparation of the Operating Expense Statement), costs of defending suits with any mortgagee (except where the actions of Tenant may be an issue), costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any interest of Landlord in the Building, and costs (including attorneys’ fees, costs of settlement and judgments) arising from disputes or claims pertaining to Landlord; (q) the wages and benefits of any Building management personnel who do not devote substantially all of their working hours to the Building, unless such wages and benefits are prorated to reflect the time spent working on matters relating to the Building; (r) interest, fines or penalties due to Landlord’s failure to pay timely utilities or other charges; (s) interest, fines or penalties due to Landlord’s failure to comply with any Governmental Requirements to the extent

-9-


 

such failure is not caused by Tenant’s failure to make timely payment hereunder or to perform Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (t) amounts paid as ground rent and paid as debt service or amortization under any mortgage encumbering the Land and/or the Building; (u) except management fees imposed as an Operating Expense, any amount payable to any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord to the extent such amount is in excess of amounts which would have been paid absent such relationship; (v) costs associated with the remediation of hazardous substances including asbestos, lead based paint or hazardous wastes existing on the Land or in the Building prior to the Commencement Date; (w) cost of correcting violations of Governmental Requirements or Insurance Requirements caused by Landlord or any other tenants; (x) all costs relating to renewals, expansions or extensions of existing tenant leases in the Building, including legal fees, advertising and concessions; (y) expenses of relocating or moving any tenant of the Building; (z) costs incurred by Landlord in expanding or reducing the Building or Land; and (aa) the costs incurred in operating, managing and maintaining the garage serving the Building, including the cost of maintaining Gatekeeper’s Liability insurance for the garage (but excluding the property and liability insurance procured by Landlord). The costs of electric consumption and water, sewer and other utility services provided to the Demised Premises (including, without limitation, for HVAC usage), to the extent not included as Operating Expenses of the Building, shall be paid for by Tenant separately, in accordance with Paragraph 5 of this Lease.
     (2) In determining Operating Expenses for any year, if the Building was less than fully occupied at any time during such year, Operating Expenses shall be deemed for such year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which Landlord reasonably determines would normally be incurred had the Building been ninety five percent (95%) occupied throughout such year. In no event shall Operating Expenses for any year be deemed to be less than the Base Operating Expenses for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses.
     (3) In the event Landlord shall make a capital expenditure for an “Essential Capital Improvement”, as hereinafter defined in this subsection (3), during any year, the annual amortization of such expenditure (determined by dividing the amount of the expenditure by the useful life of the improvement), plus any reasonable interest or financing charges thereon (or, if such improvements are funded from reserves, a reasonable sum imputed in lieu of such financing charges), shall be deemed an Operating Expense for each year of such period. As used herein, an “Essential Capital Improvement” means any of the following: (A) a labor saving device, energy saving device or other installation, improvement, upgrading or replacement to the Building generally or common areas of the Building which reduces Operating Expenses as referred to above, whether voluntary or required to comply with a Governmental Requirement; or (B) an installation, improvement, alteration or removal of any improvements, including architectural or communication barriers, which are made to the Building generally or to common areas of the Building (as opposed to individual tenanted premises) by reason of any Governmental Requirement, whether or not such improvements are structural in nature and whether or not such Governmental Requirement either existed or was required of the Landlord on the date of execution of this Lease; or (C) an installation or improvement to the Building generally which directly enhances the safety of occupants in the Building generally, whether or not voluntary or a Governmental Requirement (as, for example, but without limitation, for general safety, fire safety or security).
     (4) If Landlord excludes the cost of Landlord’s liability or property insurance attributable to the garage for purposes of determining the Operating Expenses for any tenant at the Building,

-10-


 

other than Tenant, Landlord agrees to make the same adjustment for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, including the Base Operating Expenses (as defined below).
               (vii) “Governmental Requirements” shall mean all requirements under any federal, state or local statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, or other requirements of any duly constituted public authority having jurisdiction over the Building (including, without limitation, the Demised Premises) including, but not limited to, requirements under Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code (building and zoning codes); Title 5 of The Philadelphia Code (fire code); 42 U.S.C. Section 12101 et seq. (the “Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990”); and the provisions of, and regulations promulgated pursuant to, Pennsylvania Act 1988-166 governing accessibility by persons with physical disabilities.
               (viii) “Base Operating Expenses” shall mean the Operating Expenses (as defined above) allocable and attributable to calendar year 2009. The Base Operating Expenses shall be calculated as if the Building was ninety-five percent (95%) occupied throughout such year in accordance with Paragraph 4.1(vi)(2) hereof, and such shall be adjusted for the calendar year above stated to reflect average and reasonable allowances for on-going repairs and maintenance and to exclude from the Base Operating Expenses extraordinary items of Operating Expenses incurred in such calendar year, including but not limited to items incurred pursuant to Paragraph 4.1(vi)(3) above; provided, however, that the amount amortized for such items in calendar year 2009 shall be included in the Base Operating Expenses.
               (ix) “Tenant’s Operating Expense Percentage” shall be six and 1,858/10,000 percent (6.1858%). This is equal to the ratio of the rentable area of the Demised Premises, as set forth above, to the total rentable area of office space plus the total rentable area of retail/commercial space in the Building (not including, however, basement or storage areas on non-office floors and all space in the parking garage) which is 960,178 rentable square feet and which Landlord shall have the right to re-determine from time to time to reflect reconfigurations, additions or modifications to the Building, provided, however, in no event shall the rentable square footage of the Building, for purposes of determining Tenant’s Tax Percentage, be less than 960,178.
               (x) “Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses” shall mean with respect to any calendar year, the product of (A) Tenant’s Operating Expense Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount, if any, by which the Operating Expenses for such calendar year exceeds the Base Operating Expenses.
               (xi) “Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses” shall mean with respect to any calendar year, the product of (A) Tenant’s Operating Expense Percentage, multiplied by (B) the amount, if any, by which Landlord’s good faith estimate of Operating Expenses for such calendar year exceed the Base Operating Expenses.
          4.2. Determination of Tenant’s Share of Taxes.
               (i) For and with respect to each calendar year which occurs during the term of this Lease (and any renewals or extensions thereof) there shall accrue and Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, Tenant’s Share of Taxes, appropriately prorated for any such partial calendar year occurring within the term.

-11-


 

               (ii) Payment of Tenant’s Share of Taxes.
                    After receipt by Landlord of a bill from the appropriate governmental authority stating the amount of Taxes (a “Tax Bill”) with respect to a particular calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement (“Statement of Taxes”) of the amount due to Landlord, as Tenant’s Share of Taxes for the period with respect to which the Taxes are then due. Such Statement of Taxes shall include: (A) the actual amount of Taxes for the calendar year as reflected on the Tax Bill; (B) the Base Taxes; (C) the Tenant’s Tax Percentage; and (D) Tenant’s Share of Taxes. Within ten (10) days following delivery of the Statement of Taxes, Tenant shall pay Landlord, Tenant’s Share of Taxes as set forth in the Statement of Taxes.
               (iii) Final Determinations. For purposes of this Paragraph 4.2, any assessment or Taxes upon which Tenant’s Share of Taxes is based shall be deemed to be the amount initially assessed or billed, as the case may be, until such time as an abatement, refund, rebate or increase, if any (retroactive or otherwise), shall be finally determined to be due, and upon receipt of any final bill or rebate (or other crediting) of the amount of such final determination, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of the amount, if any, due to Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, as a result of the adjustment, and appropriate payment to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall thereafter promptly be made. Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant to contest, appeal or otherwise challenge any Taxes or assessment. In the event of any reduction in Taxes by reason of legal or other action taken by Landlord in contest thereof, there shall be added to and deemed a part of the Taxes in question the amount of Landlord’s legal and other costs and expenses in obtaining such reduction (but not an amount in excess of the tax savings).
          4.3. Determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses.
               (i) For and with respect to each calendar year during the term of this Lease (and any renewals or extensions thereof) there shall accrue and be paid, as additional rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, appropriately prorated for any partial calendar year occurring within the term.
               (ii) Payment of Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, on or before December 31 of each calendar year during the term hereof (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), a statement for the next succeeding calendar year setting forth Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses. On the first day of the new calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses; and on the first day of each succeeding month, up to and including the time that Tenant shall receive a new statement of Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the then applicable Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses.
               (iii) Expense Statement. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, on or before April 30 of each calendar year during the term hereof (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), a statement (the “Expense Statement”) prepared by Landlord or its agent or accountants setting forth for the previous calendar year: (A) the Operating Expenses as adjusted by paragraph 4.1(vi)(2); (B) the Base Operating Expenses; (C) Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses; (D) Tenant’s Share

-12-


 

of Operating Expenses; (E) Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses which has been paid, if any; and (E) a statement of the amount due to Landlord, or to be credited to Tenant, as a final adjustment in respect of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year (the “Final Expense Adjustment”). The Final Expense Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses from the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Expense Statement to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Final Expense Adjustment calculated as set forth in the Expense Statement. If the Final Expense Adjustment establishes that Tenant’s Estimated Share of Operating Expenses exceed Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, then Landlord shall credit Tenant with the amount thereof against the next payment of minimum rent due by Tenant hereunder, except that with respect to the last year of the Lease, if an Event of Default has not occurred, Landlord shall refund Tenant the amount of such payment in respect of the Final Expense Adjustment within thirty (30) days after Landlord provides the Expense Statement for such final year of the Lease. In no event, however, shall Tenant be entitled to receive a credit greater than the payments made by Tenant as payments of the Estimated Share of Operating Expenses for the calendar year to which the Final Expense Adjustment relates.
          4.4. Disputes.
               (i) The information set forth on all statements furnished to Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 4, including each Statement of Taxes, Expense Statement, and all documents relating to Estimated Share of Operating Expenses, Final Expense Adjustment, Estimated Share of Taxes, Final Tax Adjustment, and all supportive documentation and calculations, shall (subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 4.4(ii)), be deemed approved by Tenant unless, within thirty (30) days after submission to Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that it disputes the correctness thereof, specifying in detail the basis for such assertion. Pending the resolution of any dispute, however, Tenant shall continue to make payments in accordance with the statement or information as furnished.
               (ii) Tenant or its representative shall have the right to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to the reconciliation of Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year set forth in Expense Statement during normal business hours at any time within sixty (60) days following the delivery by Landlord to Tenant of such Expense Statement. Unless Tenant shall give Landlord written notice objecting to said reconciliation and specifying the items in which said reconciliation is claimed to be incorrect within thirty (30) days after its examination of Landlord’s books and records, said reconciliation shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, Tenant shall not be permitted to examine Landlord’s books and records or to dispute the Expense Statement unless Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount due as shown on the Expense Statement; said payment is a condition precedent to said examination and/or dispute. If such audit shall disclose that Operating Expenses have been overstated, Tenant shall deliver a letter to Landlord setting forth Tenant’s position accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of and together with reasonably detailed supporting data evidencing the basis on which the claim of an overcharge is made (an “Overcharge Notice’). Upon receipt of an Overcharge Notice, Landlord shall either (a) notify Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Overcharge Notice, that it agrees with the determination set forth in the Overcharge

-13-


 

Notice and Landlord shall credit Tenant with the amount of such overcharge against the next succeeding amount of Minimum Rent due from Tenant, or (b) notify Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Overcharge Notice that it does not agree with the determination set forth in the Overcharge Notice (“Landlord’s Dispute Notice”). Landlord’s failure to timely provide a Landlord’s Dispute Notice shall be treated as if Landlord provided a Landlord’s Dispute Notice.
               (iii) In the event Landlord provides, or is deemed to have provided, Tenant with a Landlord’s Dispute Notice, and Landlord and Tenant, acting in good faith, are not able to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days from when Landlord gives, or is deemed to have given, Landlord’s Dispute Notice, then the Landlord and Tenant shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, select an independent arbitrator, approved from the American Arbitration Association, to resolve the dispute. If it is determined by the arbitrator named above that, with respect to Operating Expenses, the actual total overcharge is more than two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the amount in dispute between Landlord and Tenant, then Landlord shall credit Tenant with the amount of the overcharge against the next succeeding amount of Minimum Rent due from Tenant and Landlord shall pay the cost of the arbitrator and the reasonable cost of Tenant’s audit within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. If it is determined by the arbitrator named above that the actual total overcharge is two and one-half percent (2.5%) or less of the amount in dispute between Landlord and Tenant, then Landlord shall credit Tenant with the amount of the overcharge against the next succeeding amount of Minimum Rent due from Tenant and Tenant shall pay the cost of the arbitrator and Landlord’s other reasonable costs incurred in connection with or arising out of such audit within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. The determination of such arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
               (iv) In the exercise of Tenant’s audit right under this Section, Tenant shall not engage any person or firm compensated on a contingency fee basis, and Tenant and its representative shall maintain all matters relating to any audit in confidence. In addition to and in furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant shall not share the results of any audit performed hereunder with any other tenant in the Building except if Tenant is compelled to do so by court order or subpoena. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of Tenant’s audit promptly upon written request by Landlord as a condition to Landlord’s consideration of any adjustment.
          4.5. Survival of Tenant’s Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant understands and agrees that additional rent resulting from increases of Operating Expenses described in this Paragraph 4 is attributable to and owing for a specific twelve (12) month period, and is generally determined in arrears. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that, at any time following the expiration of the term of this Lease, or after default by Tenant with respect to this Lease, Landlord may bill Tenant for (a) the entire amount of accrued and uncollected additional rent attributable to increases in Operating Expenses under Paragraph 4, and (b) any unpaid charges for usage, services or other amounts with respect to the last twelve (12) month period preceding the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and the amount of such bill shall be due and payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof.

          5.1. HVAC and Electricity. Landlord shall furnish (a) heat, ventilation and air conditioning (including the labor, maintenance and equipment necessary to provide the same), (b) electricity and other utilities needed to operate such systems and (c) electricity for lighting and general power for office use (such not to exceed six (6) watts per square foot), each of the foregoing to be paid for by Tenant, as additional rent, as follows:
               (i) Standard Usage; Business Hours.

The electricity for lighting, general power for office use utilized by Tenant and the electricity to operate mechanical equipment in the Demised Premises shall be separately metered and Tenant shall directly pay the cost for such items as reflected by such meter at the General Services Rate. Any payment required pursuant to this subparagraph 5.1 (i) shall be made by Tenant within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of a statement to Tenant setting forth the amount due. “Business Hours” shall mean Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Holidays (defined below) excepted. New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any day set aside to celebrate such holidays are “Holidays” under this Lease. “Building Standard Consumption” shall mean the consumption necessary, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, for use and comfortable occupancy of the Demised Premises when occupied by the density of people for which the building standard system was designed with occupants using Standard Office Equipment. “Standard Office Equipment” shall mean all office equipment normally found in an office facility but shall not include computer and communication systems, telephone switches and conference or training rooms (or items similar thereto), to the extent any require Additional Electric Equipment, as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 5.1(v) below, or additional air conditioning service or systems.

Tenant shall pay the cost of supplying the Demised Premises with heat, ventilation and air conditioning (including the labor, maintenance and equipment necessary to provide the same) and the electricity and other utilities needed to operate such systems at times outside of Business Hours or in amounts in excess of Building Standard Consumption, at such rates as Landlord shall specify from time to time to cover all of the estimated costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with supplying the Demised Premises with such service, including without limitation the costs of labor and utilities associated with such service and including applicable sales or use taxes thereon, such amounts to be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of a statement to Tenant setting forth the amount due and the computation of such amount. An authorized representative (but in no event more than two per Tenant) of Tenant shall notify Landlord by 12:00 noon on the day such after-hours use is desired, except if such use is desired for a weekend, in which event Tenant shall notify Landlord no later than 12:00 noon on the Friday immediately preceding such weekend. The current after hours charge, which is subject to change, is $250 per hour for the cooling season and $160 per hour for the heating season; except that during such times as Tenant and other tenants who

-15-


 

are also using the After Hours HVAC, Tenant shall only be required to pay Tenant’s share of the amount reasonably apportioned by Landlord to Tenant and such other tenants.
               (iii) Supplemental HVAC. If Tenant requires air conditioning in addition to the Building Standard Consumption that is provided by Landlord as set forth above (e.g., for computer, communications, or telephone switching equipment, for conference facilities, cardiac safety area (as noted on the Plan), or for other similar or dissimilar uses, requirements or other specialized equipment of Tenant), Tenant shall have the right to arrange for the installation of a separate air conditioning unit, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval and satisfaction of the other provisions regarding Tenant improvements set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost and selection, subject to Landlord’s approval, of such unit for its intended purpose, and for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the same and for any additional sub-meter needed to account for the electricity utilized to operate such unit. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, permits Tenant to attach a separate air-conditioning unit to the cooling tower, Tenant shall pay for the condenser water made available to such unit from the cooling tower (whether or not actually used), and for the cost of all electricity (to be separately submetered as a condition of permitting Tenant to install any such separate air-conditioning unit) used in connection with any such supplemental air conditioning, at such rates as Landlord shall establish from time to time, such amounts to be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of a statement to Tenant setting forth the amount due. Landlord’s current charge for condenser water is $65.00 per connected ton of capacity per month, which rate is subject to change from time to time.
               (iv) System Failure. Landlord shall not be responsible for any failure or inadequacy of the Building’s HVAC system if such failure or inadequacy results from the occupancy of the Demised Premises by persons in excess of the density anticipated or for which the system was designed, or if Tenant uses the Demised Premises in a manner for which it was not designed, or if Tenant installs or operates machines, appliances or equipment which exceed the maximum wattage per square foot contemplated by, or generate more heat than anticipated in, the design of the Demised Premises.
               (v) Additional Electrical Equipment. Tenant will not install or use electrically-operated equipment in excess of the design capacity of the Demised Premises (which is six {6} watts per square foot), and Tenant shall not install or operate in the Demised Premises any electrically-operated equipment or machinery other than that commonly used in a normal office operation without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord. Landlord may condition any consent required under this Paragraph 5.1(v) upon the installation of separate meters (and transformers or electrical panels) for such equipment or machinery at Tenant’s expense and the payment by Tenant of additional rent as compensation for the additional consumption of electricity occasioned by the operation of such additional equipment or machinery, at the rates and in the manner set forth in Paragraph 5.1(ii) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall replace, when and as requested by Tenant (the cost of which replacement light bulbs, tubes and ballasts, exit lights and emergency lights, plus the labor cost for such replacement and the cost of disposal of tubes and ballasts, to be chargeable to Tenant) light bulbs and tubes, and ballasts, within the Demised Premises which are Building standard (but at Landlord’s option such undertaking of Landlord shall not include bulbs or tubes for any non-Building standard lighting, high hats, or other specialty lighting of Tenant, which shall be and remain the responsibility of Tenant).

-16-


 

               (vi) Regulatory Compliance. The furnishing of the foregoing HVAC and electricity services shall be subject to any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, resolution or recommendation for energy conservation which may be promulgated by any governmental agency or organization which Landlord shall be required to comply with or which Landlord determines in good faith to comply with.
          5.2. Water and Sewer. Landlord shall furnish the Building with water for drinking, lavatory, toilet, kitchen/cafeteria and sanitary sewer purposes drawn through fixtures installed by Landlord. In the event that water is supplied to the Demised Premises, Landlord reserves the right by either estimates, submetering or other measurement to determine whether Tenant uses excess water or sewer and, in such case, the cost of usage of such excess services attributable to the Demised Premises shall be paid for by Tenant pursuant to a statement furnished by Landlord to Tenant setting forth the amount due as a result of such excess usage attributable to the Demised Premises, and the total amount set forth in such statement shall be due and payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after submission thereto by Landlord of such statement.
          5.3. Elevator; Access. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service to the Demised Premises during all working days (Saturday, Sunday and Holidays excepted) from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with one elevator in each elevator bank subject to call at all other times. Tenant and its employees and agents shall have access to the Demised Premises at all times, subject to compliance with such security measures as shall be in effect for the Building. Tenant may also use one (1) internal fire stair tower to commute internally between the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall install a card reader at the access doors from the fire stair tower on the 9th floor and 10th floor, and shall provide Landlord copies of the access cards required to gain such access. Tenant shall make no other improvements or alterations to the fire stair tower without Landlord’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Elevator services for freight shall be supplied in common with service to other tenants and for other Building requirements at reasonable times during Business Hours for routine deliveries in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business. Unusual or unusually large deliveries requiring use of the freight elevators (which shall not include Tenant’s moving de minimis amounts of its portable equipment, in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business) shall be scheduled in advance with Landlord so as not to interfere with the operations of the Building or other tenants. Freight elevator service outside of Business Hours shall be provided to Tenant upon reasonable written advance notice, at charges equal to Landlord’s estimated cost for providing such service from time to time outside of Business Hours, which shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord not later than ten (10) days after Landlord’s bill therefor.
          5.4. Janitorial. Landlord shall provide janitorial service to the Demised Premises as specified on Exhibit “D” annexed hereto, subject to change, so long as janitorial service is consistent with prevailing standards for comparable first class office buildings in the central business district of Philadelphia. Upon notice to Landlord, any and all additional or specialized janitorial or trash removal service desired by Tenant (i) shall be contracted for by Tenant directly with Landlord’s janitorial agent and the cost and payment thereof shall be and remain the sole responsibility of Tenant, or (ii) at the option of Landlord, shall be contracted for by Landlord and paid for by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after the submission by Landlord of a statement to Tenant setting forth the amount due. If Landlord shall from time to time reasonably

-17-


 

determine that the use of any cleaning service in the Demised Premises, including without limitation, removal of refuse and rubbish from the Demised Premises, is in an amount greater than usually attendant upon the use of such Demised Premises as offices, the reasonable cost of such additional cleaning services shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent, on demand. Tenant shall comply with any reasonable recycling plans or programs established by Landlord from time to time.
          5.5. Security. Tenant and Tenant’s employees, as well as other tenants of the Building, currently have access to the Building outside of standard business hours by a security card monitoring system maintained in the main lobby of the Building. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all access cards issued to Tenant and its employees. One card shall be provided without charge for up to 200 of Tenant’s employees. A charge will be made for replacements. The current charge for each replacement card is $10 which charge is subject to change. During non-Business Hours, Tenant, its employees and invitees shall abide by the security imposed at the entrances to the Building upon entering and exiting the Building. Landlord makes no representation that the present or any future system employed at the Building to monitor access to the Building outside of standard business hours will prevent unauthorized access to the Building or the Demised Premises, and Tenant acknowledges that any lobby attendants provided by Landlord are present as a convenience for the tenants of the Building, but cannot be responsible for preventing unauthorized or improper behavior or access to the Building or to the Demised Premises. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall be responsible for security of the Demised Premises and the security and safety of Tenant’s employees, invitees, officers, directors, contractors, subcontractors and agents. In connection with Tenant’s installation of a security system in the Demised Premises, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant by providing Tenant with the available access codes to the existing Building security system so that Tenant may have one access card for use with Tenant’s security system in the Demised Premises and the Building security system. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is Tenant’s sole responsibility to obtain and install a security system for the Demised Premises which is compatible with the Building security system. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord assumes no liability or responsibility for Tenant’s personal property whether such are located in the Demised Premises or elsewhere in the Building. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may (but shall have no obligation to) alter current security measures in the Building, and Tenant agrees that it shall cooperate fully, and shall cause its employees and invitees to cooperate fully, with any reasonable requests of Landlord in connection with the implementation of any new security procedures or other arrangements. During the term hereof, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any changes with respect to Tenant’s employee roster. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord or required by Governmental Requirements.
          5.6. Maintenance and Repairs. Landlord shall maintain and make all repairs to and replacements of (i) all structural elements of the Building, (ii) the roof of the Building; (iii) all exterior windows and glass; (iv) the lobby and other common areas of the Building (including all toilet, lavatory and rest rooms on the floors of the Demised Premises), (v) elevator cabs, equipment and systems; and (vi) all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems serving the Demised Premises, excluding repairs to (or replacement of) (a) any non- building standard fixtures or other improvements in the Demised Premises installed by Tenant or made by or at the request of Tenant and requiring unusual or special maintenance, and (b) the access doors

-18-


 

between the Concourse Space and the loading dock serving the Concourse Space, which access doors shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Landlord shall also regularly clean all exterior windows and glass, elevator cabs and the lobbies and other common areas of the Building (including daily cleaning each Monday through Friday of all toilet, lavatory and rest rooms on the floors of the Demised Premises). In the event that any repair is required by reason of the negligence or abuse of Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or of any other person using the Demised Premises with Tenant’s consent, express or implied, Landlord may make such repair and add the cost thereof to the first installment of rent which will thereafter become due, unless Landlord shall have actually recovered such cost through insurance proceeds. Landlord shall maintain the Building in a condition that is consistent with the condition of comparable first class office buildings in center city, Philadelphia and in order to fulfill Landlord’s other obligations under this Lease (including, without limitation, providing the services described in Section 5).
          5.7. Limitation Regarding Services.
               (i) It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to in this Paragraph 5 will be free from interruption from causes beyond the control of Landlord. Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant, and without being in breach of any covenant of this Lease, to interrupt or suspend service of any of the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, electric, sanitary, elevator or other Building systems serving the Demised Premises, or the providing of any of the other services required of Landlord under this Lease, whenever and for so long as may be necessary by reason of accidents, emergencies, strikes or the making of repairs or changes which Landlord is required by this Lease or by law to make or in good faith deems advisable, or by reason of difficulty in securing proper supplies of fuel, steam, water, electricity, labor or supplies, or by reason of any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including without limitation, mechanical failure and governmental restrictions on the use of materials or the use of any of the Building systems. In each instance, however, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of interruption and to effect restoration of service, and shall give Tenant reasonable notice, when practicable, of the commencement and anticipated duration of such interruption. Except as provided in subparagraph (ii) below, Tenant shall not be entitled to any diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of the Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of the interruption, stoppage or suspension of any of the Building systems or services arising out of the causes set forth in this Paragraph.
     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Lease, if a stoppage or suspension of the HVAC systems, electricity service, elevator service and/or water and sewer services to the Building results in a “shutdown condition” (as defined below) at the Demised Premises solely as a result of such stoppage or suspension and such stoppage or suspension is not attributable to (a) Tenant and/or (b) a “force majeure” event (as defined below); then, after the continuation of such stoppage or suspension for five (5) consecutive days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant that the Demised Premises is in a shutdown condition as a result of such stoppage or suspension and commencing with the sixth (6th) consecutive day, minimum rent hereunder shall abate for the period the Demised Premises are in a shutdown condition as a result of such stoppage or suspension. For purposes hereof, the Demised Premises shall be deemed to be in a “shutdown condition” only if as a result of such stoppage or suspension of the HVAC systems, electricity service, elevator service and/or water and sewer services to the Building (i) Tenant’s

-19-


 

personnel cannot reasonably perform their ordinary functions in the Demised Premises and (ii) Tenant shall have ceased all, or substantially all, ordinary business operations in the Demised Premises.

At all times during the term of this Lease and any extension or renewal hereof, Tenant, at its cost, shall comply with, and shall promptly correct any violations of the following to the extent they apply to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises: (i) all requirements of any insurance underwriters, or (ii) any Governmental Requirements. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, damages, claims of third parties, cost of correction, expenses (including attorney’s fees and cost of suit or administrative proceedings) or fines arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s failure to comply with Governmental Requirements applicable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. The provisions of this Paragraph 6.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
          6.2. Access. Tenant shall give Landlord, its agents and employees, access to the Demised Premises (i) at all reasonable times after reasonable advance notice, and at any time without advance notice in the case of an emergency, without charge or diminution of rent, to enable Landlord to examine the same and to make such repairs, additions and alterations as Landlord may be permitted to make hereunder or as Landlord may deem advisable for the preservation of the integrity, safety and good order of the Building or any part thereof; and (ii) upon reasonable advance notice, to show the Demised Premises to prospective mortgagees and purchasers and to prospective tenants. However, in the event Landlord enters the Demised Premises as provided herein, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the interruption to Tenant’s business therein and access to the Demised Premises. If representatives of Tenant shall not be present on the Demised Premises to permit entry upon the Demised Premises by Landlord or its agents or employees, at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord may enter the Demised Premises by means of a master key (or, in the event of any emergency, forcibly) without any liability whatsoever to Tenant (other than for the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees) and without such entry constituting an eviction of Tenant or a termination of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant or Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Demised Premises or the Building or to any appurtenance or any equipment therein except for that attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors, employees.
          6.3. Condition. Tenant shall keep the Demised Premises and all improvements, installations and systems therein in good order and condition and repair all damage to the Demised Premises and replace all interior glass broken by Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, with glass of the same quality as that broken, except for glass broken by fire and extended coverage type risks, and Tenant shall commit no waste in the Demised Premises. If the Tenant refuses or neglects to make such repairs, or fails to diligently prosecute the same to

-20-


 

completion within a reasonable time after written notice from Landlord of the need therefor (or promptly in the event of an emergency), Landlord may make such repairs at the expense of Tenant and such expense shall be collectible as additional rent. Any such repairs and any labor performed or materials furnished in, on or about the Demised Premises shall be performed and furnished by Tenant in strict compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and requirements of all duly constituted authorities or governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the Building, and any reasonable regulations imposed by Landlord pertaining thereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to designate any and all contractors and suppliers to furnish materials and labor for such repairs. Any contractors performing services for Tenant on or about the Demised Premises or Building shall be subject to the requirements governing work by Tenant’s contractors as set forth in Exhibit “F” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
          6.4. Surrender. Upon the termination of this Lease in any manner whatsoever, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s goods and effects and those of any other person claiming under Tenant, and quit and deliver up the Demised Premises to Landlord peaceably and quietly in as good order and condition as at the inception of the term of this Lease or as the same hereafter may be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable use and wear thereof, damage from fire and other insured casualty and repairs which are Landlord’s obligation excepted. Goods and effects not removed by Tenant at the termination of this Lease, however terminated, shall be considered abandoned and at Landlord’s option, be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by Bill of Sale without payment by Landlord. Landlord may dispose of and/or store such goods and effects not removed by Tenant, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, the cost thereof to be charged to Tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safe keeping of any property which it handles, stores or removes pursuant to this subparagraph. Upon the termination of this Lease in any manner whatsoever, Tenant shall return to Landlord any and all keys and security access cards affecting the Demised Premises and issued to Tenant and Tenant shall provide Landlord with any combinations or safe keys with respect to any secured areas within the Demised Premises.
          6.5. Signs. Tenant shall not place signs on or about any part of the Building, or on the outside of the Demised Premises or on the windows or walls of the Demised Premises, except that Tenant may place a sign on the exterior doors of the Demised Premises provided Landlord approves the type, lettering and text of such sign. Landlord shall provide, at Tenant’s cost, building standard signage in the elevator lobby of each floor on which Tenant is located. Provided no Event of Default exists and Tenant is continuously occupying at least 40,000 rentable square feet of space in the Building, Tenant shall be entitled to have its name on the Building monument sign located at 19th and Market Streets. Landlord shall pay for the costs of installing the signage strip with Tenant’s name.
          6.6. Care; Insurance. Tenant shall not overload, damage or deface the Demised Premises or do any act which might make void or voidable any insurance on the Demised Premises or the Building or which may render an increased or extra premium payable for insurance (and without prejudice to any right or remedy of Landlord regarding this subparagraph, Landlord shall have the right to collect from Tenant, upon demand, any such increase or extra premium).

          6.7. System Changes. Tenant shall not install any equipment of any kind or nature whatsoever which would or might necessitate any changes, replacement or additions to the water, plumbing, heating, air conditioning or the electrical systems servicing the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Building; nor install any plumbing fixtures in the Demised Premises; nor use in excess of normal office use any of the utilities, the janitorial or trash removal services, or any other services or portions of the Building without the prior written consent of the Landlord and, in the event such consent is granted, the cost of any such installation, replacements, changes, additions or excessive use shall be paid for by Tenant, in advance in the case of any installations, replacements and additions, and promptly upon being billed therefor in the case of charges for excessive use.
          6.8. Alterations; Additions. Tenant shall not make any alteration of or addition to the Demised Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord (except for work of a decorative nature for which Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing). Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld for nonstructural interior alteration, provided that (i) no Building systems, structure, or areas outside of the Demised Premises are affected by such proposed alteration, and (ii) reasonably detailed plans and specifications for construction of the work, including but not limited to any and all alterations having any impact on or affecting any electrical systems, telecommunications systems, plumbing, HVAC, sprinkler system and interior walls and partitions, are furnished to Landlord in advance of commencement of any work. All such alterations and additions, as well as all fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances installed in and affixed to the Demised Premises on or after the inception of this Lease term (but excluding Tenant’s trade fixtures and modular furniture systems) shall, upon installation, become and remain the property of Landlord. All such alterations and additions, including but not limited to any wiring and cabling, shall be maintained by Tenant in the same manner and order as Tenant is required to maintain the Demised Premises generally and, at Landlord’s option communicated to the Tenant at the time of approval of the alteration or addition, upon termination of the term hereof, shall be removed without damage to the Demised Premises upon surrender; provided, however, Tenant must remove all cabling and wiring within the Demised Premises (and running between the Concourse Space, the 9th Floor Space and the 10th Floor Space, unless Landlord or a successor tenant wishes to utilize such cabling and wiring.

          6.11. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall observe the rules and regulations annexed hereto as Exhibit “E”, as the same may from time to time be amended by Landlord for the general safety, comfort and convenience of Landlord, occupants and tenants of the Building.
          6.12. Environmental Compliance.

However, the foregoing provisions shall not prohibit the transportation to and from, and use, storage, maintenance and handling within, the Demised Premises of substances customarily used in offices (or such other business or activity expressly permitted to be undertaken in the Demised Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease), provided: (a) such substance shall be used and maintained only in such quantities as are reasonably necessary for such permitted use of the Demised Premises, strictly in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements and the manufacturers’ instructions therefor, (b) such substances shall not be disposed of, released or discharged in the Building, and shall be transported to and from the Demised Premises in compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements, and as Landlord shall reasonably require, (c) if any applicable Governmental Requirement or Landlord’s trash removal contractor requires that any such substances be disposed of separately from ordinary trash, Tenant shall make arrangements at Tenant’s expense for such disposal directly with a qualified and licensed disposal company at a lawful disposal site (subject to scheduling and approval by Landlord), and shall ensure that disposal occurs frequently enough to prevent unnecessary storage of such substances in the Demised Premises, and (d) any remaining such substances shall be completely, properly and lawfully removed from the Building upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
               (i) Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of: (a) any enforcement, cleanup or other regulatory action taken or threatened by any governmental or regulatory authority with respect to the presence of any Waste on the Demised Premises or the migration thereof from or to the Building, (b) any demands or claims made or threatened by any party against Tenant or the Demised Premises relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Waste, (c) any release, discharge or non-routine, improper or unlawful disposal or transportation of any Waste on or from the Demised Premises, and (d) any matters where Tenant is required by any Governmental Requirement to give a notice to any governmental or regulatory authority respecting any Waste on the Demised Premises.

asbestos or other hazardous or medical waste substances as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, or by any other federal, state or local law, statute, rule, regulation or order (including any Governmental Requirements) concerning environmental matters, or any matter which would trigger any employee or community “right-to-know” requirements adopted by any such body, or for which any such body has adopted any requirements for the preparation or distribution of a MSDS.
               (ii) If any Waste is released, discharged or disposed of by Tenant or any other occupant of the Demised Premises, or their employees, agents or contractors, in or about the Building in violation of the foregoing provisions, Tenant shall immediately, properly and in compliance with applicable Governmental Requirements clean up and remove the Waste from the Building and clean or replace any affected property at the Building (whether or not owned by Landlord), at Tenant’s expense. Such clean up and removal work shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (except in emergencies), and shall include, without limitation, any testing, investigation, and the preparation and implementation of any remedial action plan required by any governmental body having jurisdiction or reasonably required by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph within five (5) days after written notice by Landlord, or such shorter time as may be required by any Governmental Requirement or in order to minimize any hazard to any person or property, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) arrange for such compliance directly or as Tenant’s agent through contractors or other parties selected by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies under this Lease or applicable Governmental Requirement). If any Waste is released, discharged or disposed of on or about the Building and such release, discharge, or disposal is not caused by Tenant or other occupants of the Demised Premises, or their employees, agents or contractors, such release, discharge or disposal shall be deemed casualty damage under Paragraph 8 to the extent that the Demised Premises or common areas serving the Demised Premises are affected thereby; in such case, Landlord and Tenant shall have the obligations and rights respecting such casualty damage provided under Paragraph 8.
     7. Subletting and Assigning
          7.1. General Restrictions. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises (either a sublease or an assignment hereinafter referred to as a “Transfer”) without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. By way of example and without limitation (and without affecting any of Landlord’s rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), the parties agree it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent: (1) if the financial condition of the proposed transferee is not at least equal, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, to the financial condition (as of the date of this Lease) of the Tenant named herein; (2) if the proposed use within the Demised Premises conflicts with the use provision set forth herein or is incompatible, inconsistent, or unacceptable with the character, use and image of the Building or the tenancy at the Building in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, or conflicts with exclusive use rights granted to another tenant of the Building; (3) if the business reputation and experience of the proposed transferee is not sufficient, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, for it to operate a business of the type and quality consistent with other tenants in the Building; (4) if the proposed transferee is an existing tenant of Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord (except if Landlord, or an affiliate of Landlord, has no other available space) or is currently negotiating or has negotiated

-24-


 

within the prior twelve (12) months with Landlord for other space in the Building (or any other building owned by an affiliate of Landlord); (5) [intentionally omitted]; (6) if the proposed transferee will be using or if Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that it is likely to use Waste at the Demised Premises other than those types of Waste normally used in general office operations in compliance with applicable Governmental Requirements; or (7) if Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that the proposed transferee’s assets, business or inventory would be subject to seizure or forfeiture under any laws related to criminal or illegal activity; or (8) if a proposed sublet is for less than eighty percent (80%) of Landlord’s then current rental rates for the Building. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, such consent, if given, will not release Tenant from its obligations hereunder and will not be deemed a consent to any further Transfer. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, in connection with any request for such consent, reasonably detailed information as to the identity and business history of the proposed assignee or subtenant, as well as the proposed effective date of the Transfer and, prior to the execution thereof, a complete set of the final documentation governing such Transfer, all of which shall be satisfactory to Landlord in form and substance. If Landlord consents to any such Transfer, the effectiveness thereof shall nevertheless be conditioned on the following: (i) receipt by Landlord of a fully executed copy of the full documentation governing the Transfer, in the form and substance approved by Landlord, (ii) any sublessee shall acknowledge that its rights arise through and are limited by the Lease, and shall agree to comply with the Lease (with such exceptions as may be consented to by Landlord including, without limitation, an agreement by sublessee to pay all minimum rent and additional rent directly to Landlord upon Landlord’s written request therefor), and (iii) any assignee shall assume in writing all obligations of Tenant hereunder from and after the effective date of such Transfer. Tenant shall not advertise or otherwise disseminate any information regarding the Building or the Demised Premises (including, without limitation, rental rates or other terms upon which Tenant intends to Transfer) to potential assignees and/or subtenants without in each instance obtaining Landlord’s prior written approval and consent as to the specific form and content of any such advertisement, statement, offering or other information (including, without limitation, approval of rental rates and terms). Tenant shall not mortgage or encumber this Lease.
          7.2. Definitions. For purposes hereof, a Transfer shall include any direct or indirect transfer, in any single or related series of transactions, of (i) fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock of a corporate Tenant; (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the interests in profits of a partnership or limited liability company Tenant; or (iii) effective voting or managerial control of Tenant; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to a tenant a majority of whose ownership interests are listed for trading on a nationally-recognized exchange.
          7.3. Procedure for Approval of Transfer. If Tenant wishes to request Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit such request to Landlord, in writing, together with reasonably detailed financial information and information as to the identity and business information and business history of the proposed assignee or subtenant, as well as the proposed effective date of the Transfer and the area or portion of the Demised Premises which Tenant wishes to Transfer (the “Transfer Space”). If Landlord fails to respond or request additional information from Tenant within twenty (20) days after receipt of (i) such documentation as Landlord reasonably requests to establish the proposed transferee’s then current financial condition, (ii) Landlord’s form of consent, which shall be executed by Tenant and the assignee or subtenant of Tenant and (iii) a fully executed copy of the Transfer, in form

-25-


 

and substance approved by Landlord (collectively, the “Transfer Documentation”), Tenant shall submit an additional request to Landlord, setting forth the same information and further notifying Landlord on such request that Landlord’s failure to respond or request additional information from Tenant within an additional ten (10) days shall be deemed an approval. If Landlord fails to respond or request additional information from Tenant within such additional ten (10) days, such failure to so respond shall be deemed a consent to the Transfer. If Landlord requests additional information, Landlord shall respond within ten (10) days after receipt of all requested information, and Landlord’s failure to do so shall be deemed a consent to the Transfer. If Landlord consents to any such Transfer, such consent shall be given on Landlord’s form of consent, which shall be executed by Tenant and the assignee or subtenant of Tenant. It shall nevertheless be a condition to the deemed effectiveness thereof that Landlord be furnished a fully executed copy of the Transfer, in form and substance approved by Landlord, and that Tenant shall pay Landlord’s expenses in connection with the proposed Transfer. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to object to Transfer document provisions which, inter alia, attempt to make Landlord a party to the Transfer document or impose any obligation on Landlord to the subtenant.
          7.4. Recapture. Upon receipt of Tenant’s request for consent to a proposed Transfer, Landlord may elect to recapture the Transfer Space. Landlord’s election to recapture must be in writing and delivered to Tenant within twenty (20) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Transfer Documentation. Landlord’s recapture shall be effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s election to recapture (the “Effective Date”) the Transfer Space and as of the Effective Date and with respect to the Transfer Space, this Lease shall be terminated and Tenant shall be released under this Lease, subject to any continuing liabilities or obligations of Tenant which remain delinquent or uncured with respect to the period prior to the Effective Date.
          7.5. Conditions. In the event Landlord consents to a Transfer of all or any portion of the Demised Premises, Landlord may condition its consent, inter alia, on agreement by Tenant and its assignee and/or sublessee, as the case may be, that fifty percent (50%) percent of any rental payable under such Transfer arrangement which exceeds the amount of rental payable hereunder be payable to Landlord (after deduction by Tenant for the reasonable and necessary costs associated with such Transfer amortized over the remaining term of the Lease) as consideration of the granting of such consent. Nothing herein shall, however, be deemed to be a consent by Landlord of any Transfer or a waiver of Landlord’s right not to consent to any Transfer. Any purported Transfer not in accordance with the terms hereof shall at Landlord’s option, to be exercised at any time after Landlord becomes aware of any such purported Transfer, be void, and may at Landlord’s option be treated as an event of default hereunder.
          7.6. Special Conditions for Transfers to Affiliates of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant shall be permitted without Landlord’s prior written consent, and subject to the terms of this subparagraph 7.6, to Transfer all or a portion of the Demised Premises to an “Affiliate” of Tenant. For purposes of this subparagraph, Affiliate shall mean; (i) a corporation which owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding common stock of Tenant, or (ii) a corporation which has fifty percent (50%) or more of its common stock owned by Tenant, or (iii) a partnership which owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the common stock of Tenant, or (iv) a partnership which has fifty percent (50%) or more of its interest in partnership profits owned by Tenant, or (v) an entity which is the surviving entity in a merger

-26-


 

pursuant to state corporation or partnership law with the Tenant. The effectiveness of such Transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant shall nevertheless be conditioned on the following: (a) Landlord receiving a fully executed copy of the full documentation governing the Transfer, in the form and substance approved by Landlord, and (b) such sublessee shall acknowledge that its rights arise through and are limited by the Lease, and shall agree to comply with the Lease (with such exceptions as may be consented to by Landlord), and (c) a written acknowledgment by Tenant evidencing that Tenant is not released from its obligations under this Lease.
     8. Fire or Other Casualty.
          8.1 In case of damage to the Demised Premises or those portions of the Building providing access or essential services thereto, by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, to the extent permitted by the sum of net proceeds of insurance recovered for such damage and applicable deductible (the latter to be an expense of Landlord), cause the damage to be repaired to a condition as nearly as practicable to that existing prior to the damage, with reasonable speed and diligence, subject to delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies, Governmental Requirements, and for delays beyond the control of Landlord, including a “force majeure” (as defined below). Landlord shall not, however, be obligated to repair, restore, or rebuild any of Tenant’s property or any alterations or additions made by or on behalf of Tenant (other than improvements that are “Landlord Improvements as defined in Exhibit “F” and Exhibit “F-1”). Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or Tenant’s visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof except, to the extent and for the time that the Demised Premises are thereby rendered un-tenantable or inaccessible, the rent shall proportionately abate from the date of the fire or other casualty. In the event the damage shall involve the Building generally and shall be so extensive that Landlord shall decide, at its sole discretion, not to repair or rebuild the Building, or if the casualty shall not be of a type insured against under standard fire policies with extended type coverage, or if the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security interest covering the Building shall not permit the application of adequate insurance proceeds for repair or restoration, this Lease shall, at the sole option of Landlord, exercisable by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the fire or other casualty and to the extent thereof, be terminated as of a date specified in such notice (which shall not be more than ninety {90} days thereafter), and the rent (taking into account any abatement as aforesaid) shall be adjusted to the termination date and Tenant shall thereupon promptly vacate the Demised Premises. In case of damage to the Demised Premises or those portions of the Building providing access or essential services thereto, by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall endeavor to furnish to Tenant as promptly as reasonably possible after the fire or other casualty, (i) an estimate of the time necessary to repair and rebuild the Building, (ii) written notice from Landlord’s insurer that the casualty is insured against under Landlord’s insurance coverage, (iii) written notice from the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security interest covering the Building permitting the application of adequate insurance proceeds for repair or restoration, and (iv) written notice from Landlord’s independent architect or contractor confirming that the amount of insurance proceeds payable to Landlord (plus the amount of the applicable deductible to be funded by Landlord) shall be sufficient to cover the anticipated cost of repair and restoration. If the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security interest covering the Building shall not permit the application of adequate insurance proceeds for repair or restoration, which Landlord will confirm to Tenant in writing upon confirmation from its mortgagee, Tenant may, but only within

-27-


 

twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of such notice, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord.
          8.2 After the occurrence of a fire or other casualty which involves the Building generally or which renders the Demised Premises or a substantial portion thereof un-tenantable or inaccessible, Landlord shall endeavor to furnish to Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the fire or other casualty, (i) an estimate of the time necessary to repair and rebuild the Building (such estimated time for completion of the repair and restoration of the Building is hereinafter referred to as the “Estimated Time”), (ii) written notice from Landlord’s insurer that the casualty is insured against under Landlord’s insurance coverage, (iii) written notice from the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security interest covering the Building permitting the application of adequate insurance proceeds for repair or restoration, and (iv) written notice from Landlord’s independent architect or contractor confirming that the amount of insurance proceeds payable to Landlord (plus the amount of the applicable deductible to be funded by Landlord) shall be sufficient to cover the anticipated cost of repair and restoration. If the Estimated Time exceeds two hundred seventy (270) days, or if Landlord confirms to Tenant in writing that sufficient proceeds of insurance will not be available to Landlord (which Landlord will do upon confirmation from its mortgagee and insurer), Tenant may, but only within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of the notice of Estimated Time or Landlord’s notice that the insurance proceeds will not be sufficient, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. If Tenant does not so terminate, this Lease (subject to the provisions set forth herein), shall remain in effect regardless of whether the actual rebuild time differs from the Estimated Time; provided, however, in the event the rebuild is not completed within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Estimated Time (calculated from the date Tenant received the notice of the Estimated Time from Landlord), Tenant shall have the further right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, but only within twenty (20) days after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period.
     9. Regarding Insurance and Liability.
          9.1. Damage in General. Tenant agrees that Landlord and its Building manager and their respective partners, officers, employees and agents shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases such parties, for any personal injury or damage to or loss of personal property in the Demised Premises from any cause whatsoever except to the extent that such damage, loss or injury is the result of Landlord’s breach of this Lease or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its Building manager, or their partners, officers, employees or agents. Landlord and its Building manager and their partners, officers or employees shall not be liable to Tenant for any such damage or loss whether or not the result of their gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent Tenant is compensated therefor by Tenant’s insurance or would have been compensated therefor under commonly available commercial policies. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord, its Building manager, or their partners, officers, employees or agents be liable to Tenant or any other party for any lost profits, lost business opportunities or consequential, punitive or exemplary damages (regardless of foreseeability).
          9.2. Tenant Indemnity Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord and its agents and employees against and from all liabilities, damages, penalties, claims, suits, demands, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, (but,

-28-


 

excluding any lost profits, lost business opportunities or consequential, punitive or exemplary damages (regardless of foreseeability)) which may be imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord and/or its agents or employees by reason of any of the following which shall occur during the term of this Lease, or during any period of time prior to the Commencement Date hereof or after the expiration date hereof when Tenant may have been given access to or possession of all or any part of the Demised Premises:
               (i) any work or act done in, on or about the Demised Premises or any part thereof at the direction of Tenant, its agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees, except if such work or act is done or performed by Landlord or its agents or employees;
               (ii) any negligence or other wrongful act or omission on the part of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, subtenants, licensees or invitees;
               (iii) any accident, injury or damage to any person (including Tenant’s employees and agents) or property occurring in, on or about the Demised Premises or any part thereof, but not to the extent that such accident, injury or damage is caused by the breach of Landlord of this Lease, actions of any other tenant of the Building or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents; and
               (iv) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions or limitations contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or complied with.
Tenant’s indemnity obligations as aforesaid shall not be limited or affected by the provisions of any Worker’s Compensation Acts, disability benefits acts or other employee benefits acts or similar acts or statutes.
          9.3. Tenant’s Insurance. At all times during the term hereof, Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect with respect to the Demised Premises and Tenant’s use thereof, commercial general liability insurance, naming Landlord, Landlord’s agent and Landlord’s mortgagee (and such other parties as Landlord may request) as additional insureds, covering injury to persons in amounts at least equal to $10,000,000.00 per occurrence and $10,000,000.00 general aggregate. In addition to commercial general liability insurance, Tenant shall also be responsible, at Tenant’s own cost, to keep and maintain (i) insurance in respect of and covering Tenant’s own furniture, furnishings, equipment and other personal property, and all improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant, all insured for the replacement cost thereof, against all risks and hazards, including but not limited to sprinkler and leakage damage, and theft (collectively, “Personal Property Insurance”), and (ii) workers’ compensation insurance with respect to and covering all employees and agents of Tenant. With respect to Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance and Personal Property Insurance, (i) no insurance coverage shall contain a deductible in excess of $100,000.00 without the prior written consent of Landlord, (ii) all deductibles shall be paid by Tenant, assumed by Tenant, for the account of Tenant, and at Tenant’s sole risk, (iii) Tenant’s insurer shall have a policyholder rating of at least A- and be assigned a financial size category of at least Class IX as rated in the most recent

-29-


 

edition of “Best’s Key Rating Guide” for insurance companies or a rating of at least Aaa as rated by Standard & Poor’s and (iv) such insurance coverage provided shall be endorsed to be primary to any and all insurance carried by Landlord, with Landlord’s insurance being excess, secondary and non-contributing. Tenant shall also carry, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, such other insurance, in amounts and for coverages and on such other terms as Landlord may from time to time deem commercially reasonable and appropriate and consistent with the insurance required generally of tenants in comparable first class office buildings in center city, Philadelphia. Tenant assumes all risk of loss of any or all of its personal property. Each of the foregoing policies shall require the insurance carrier to give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and to any mortgagee named in an endorsement thereto of any cancellation, material modification or non-renewal thereof, and each such policy shall be issued by an insurer and in a form satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall lodge with Landlord at or prior to the commencement date of the term hereof evidence of the insurance required hereunder acceptable to Landlord, together with evidence of paid-up premiums, which evidence shall include, if required by Landlord, a duplicate original of such commercial general liability insurance policy, certificates of insurance for Personal Property Insurance and such workers’ compensation insurance, and duplicate originals or certificates of such insurance that Landlord may require Tenant to carry from time to time, and shall lodge with Landlord renewals thereof at least fifteen (15) days prior to expiration.
          9.4. Landlord Insurance. Throughout the term of this Lease, Landlord will insure the Building (excluding any property with respect to which Tenant is obligated to insure pursuant to Paragraph 9.3 above) with, what is referred to as, “All Risk” Insurance covering the Building against damage by fire and standard extended coverage perils and general liability insurance, and shall carry rent insurance, and boiler and machinery insurance coverage; provided, however, that the foregoing insurances shall only be required hereunder to the extent such insurance is available at reasonable rates. All insurance coverage required by Landlord shall be in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductibles as are required by any mortgagee or ground lessor (if any), or if none, as are determined by Landlord in its good-faith discretion, taking into consideration the insurance and deductibles as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the area of the Building. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated or required to, carry any excess or other forms of insurance relating to the Building as it or the mortgagee or ground lessor (if any) of Landlord may require or reasonably determine are available. All insurance carried by Landlord relating to the Building or common areas (including, without limitation, insurance in excess of that required hereunder) shall be included as an Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.1 of this Lease. Notwithstanding its inclusion as an Operating Expense or any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums by Tenant as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by Landlord. Tenant further acknowledges that the exculpatory provisions of this Lease as set forth in Paragraph 9 and the provision regarding Tenant’s insurance are designed to insure adequate coverage as to Tenant’s property and business without regard to fault and to avoid Landlord’s obtaining similar coverage for said loss for its negligence or that of its agents, servants or employees which could result in additional costs includable as part of Operating Expenses which are payable by Tenant. Landlord will not be required to carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s personal property, furniture or improvements of Tenant under this Lease and it shall be Tenant’s responsibility (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) to repair any damage thereto, including such items as were purchased or constructed from the Construction Allowance (as defined in Exhibit “F”). Landlord’s insurance may be

-30-


 

maintained through blanket policies of insurance with Landlord and Landlord’s affiliates and through self-insurance programs of Landlord.
          9.5. Waiver of Subrogation.
               (i) Each party hereto hereby waives any and every claim which arises or which may arise in its favor and against the other party hereto, and such parties’ parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, during the term of this Lease or any extension or renewal thereof for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon or constituting a part of the Building, to the extent that such loss of damage is coverable under an insurance policy or policies and to the extent such policy of policies contain provisions permitting such waiver of claims. Each party shall cause its insurers to issue policies containing such provisions.
               (ii) Each party hereto shall have included in each of its property insurance policies a waiver of the insurer’s right of subrogation against the other party to this Lease. If there is any extra charge for such waiver, the party requesting the waiver shall pay the extra charge therefor. If such waiver is not enforceable or is unattainable, then such insurance policy shall contain either an (A) express agreement that such policy shall not be invalidated if Landlord or Tenant, whichever the case may be, waives the right of recovery against the other party to this Lease or (B) any other form for the release of Landlord or Tenant, whichever the case may be. If such waiver, agreement or release shall not be, or shall cease to be, obtainable from Landlord’s insurance company or from Tenant’s insurance company, whichever the case may be, then Landlord or Tenant shall notify the other party of such fact and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such waiver, agreement or release from another insurance company satisfying the requirements of this Lease. If, notwithstanding the commercially reasonable efforts of either Landlord or Tenant, any such waiver, agreement or release is not obtainable by either Landlord or Tenant hereunder, then the other party shall be released from the obligation to obtain such waiver, agreement or release if it is not commercially available. Thereafter in the event that such wavier, agreement or release subsequently becomes available to either Landlord or Tenant, the party capable of obtaining such waiver, agreement or release shall so notify the other party, who shall then exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such waiver, agreement or release consistent with the terms hereof; provided, if after exercising such efforts, such party cannot obtain such waiver, agreement or release, such party shall be relieved from the obligation to do so.
          9.6. Limitation on Personal Liability. Anything in this Lease, either expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that each of the covenants, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Landlord, while in form purporting to be covenants, undertakings and agreements of Landlord, are, nevertheless, made and intended not as personal covenants, undertakings and agreements of Landlord, or for the purpose of binding Landlord personally or the assets of Landlord, except Landlord’s interest in the Building and any proceeds thereof; and that no personal liability or personal responsibility is assumed by, nor shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against Landlord, any partner or member of Landlord, any parent or subsidiary of Landlord, or any of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, or officers or employees on account of this Lease or on account of any covenant, undertaking or agreement of Landlord in this Lease contained, all such personal liability and personal responsibility, if any, being expressly waived and released by Tenant.

-31-


 

          9.7. Successors in Interest to Landlord, Mortgagees. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means, from time to time, the fee owner of the Building, or, if different, the party holding and exercising the right, as against all others (except space tenants of the Building) to possession of the entire Building. Landlord as above-named represents that it is the holder of such rights as of the date hereof. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary transfer of such ownership or right to a successor-in-interest of Landlord, Landlord shall be freed and relieved of all liability and obligation hereunder which shall thereafter accrue and Tenant shall look solely to such successor-in-interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which shall thereafter accrue. The liability of any such successor in interest to Landlord under or with respect to this Lease shall be strictly limited to and enforceable only out of its or their interest in the Building and Land, and shall not be enforceable out of any other assets. No mortgagee or ground lessor which shall succeed to the interest of Landlord hereunder (either in terms of ownership or possessory rights) shall: (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of a prior Landlord, (ii) be subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior Landlord, (iii) be bound by any amendment of this Lease made without its written consent, (iv) be bound by payment by Tenant of rent in advance in excess of one (1) month’s rent, (v) be liable for any construction of the improvements to be made to the Demised Premises, or for any allowance or credit to Tenant for rent, construction costs or other expenses, or (vi) be liable for any security deposit not actually received by it. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Landlord.
          9.8. Survival. The provisions of this Paragraph 9 shall survive termination of this Lease.
     10. Eminent Domain. If the whole or a substantial part of the Building shall be taken or condemned for public or quasi public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof by any competent authority, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord and shall not have any claim or right to any portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any such condemnation or purchase; and all right of the Tenant to damages therefor are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord. The foregoing shall not, however, deprive Tenant of any separate award for moving expenses, business dislocation damages or for any other award which would not reduce the award payable to Landlord. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken or condemned, then the Term shall cease and terminate as of the date when possession is taken by the condemning authority. If there is a taking or condemnation (i) of thirty (30%) percent or more of the Demised Premises or (ii) that makes the Demised Premises permanently inaccessible then, if Tenant shall determine in good faith and certify to Landlord in writing that because of such Taking, Tenant’s personnel cannot reasonably perform their ordinary functions in the Demised Premises (or that portion which is the subject of the taking or condemnation), and Tenant shall have ceased all operations in the Demised Premises (or that portion which is the subject of the taking or condemnation), and as a result, continuance of its business at the Demised Premises would be uneconomical, Tenant may, within sixty (60) days after the date when possession of such Demised Premises shall be required by the condemning authority, elect to terminate this Lease. In the event that Tenant shall fail to exercise any such option to terminate this Lease, or in the event of a taking of the Demised Premises under circumstances under which Tenant will have no such option, then, and in either of such events, Landlord shall cause restoration to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to any “force majeure”, and the rent and additional Rent thereafter payable

-32-


 

during the Term shall be prorated based upon the square foot area of the Building and/or the Demised Premises actually taken.
     11. Insolvency. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, upon the occurrence of any such event of default Landlord shall have, without need of any notice, the rights and remedies enunciated in Paragraph 12 of this Lease for events of default hereunder: (i) the commencement of levy, execution or attachment proceedings against Tenant, any surety or guarantor thereof (hereinafter a “Surety”) or any of the assets of Tenant, or the application for or appointment of a liquidator, receiver, custodian, sequester, conservator, trustee, or other similar judicial officer; or (ii) the insolvency, under either the bankruptcy or equity definition, of Tenant or any Surety; or (iii) the assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission in writing of an inability to pay debts generally as they become due, or the ordering of the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of Tenant or any Surety; or (iv) the commencement of a case by or against Tenant any Surety under any insolvency, bankruptcy, creditor adjustment, debtor rehabilitation or similar laws, state or federal, or the determination by any of them to request relief under any insolvency, bankruptcy, creditor adjustment, debtor rehabilitation or similar proceeding, state or federal, including, without limitation, the consent by any of them to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequester or similar official for it or for any of its respective property or assets (unless, in the case of involuntary proceedings, the same shall be dismissed within thirty (30) days after institution).
     12. Default.
          12.1. Events of Default. If Tenant shall fail to take possession of the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date, or if Tenant fails to pay rent or any other sums payable to Landlord hereunder when due and such default shall continue for five (5) days after notice thereof from Landlord (provided that Landlord shall only be required to give a notice once in any twelve (12 month period), or if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Lease within fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as is reasonably required to correct any such default, provided Tenant promptly commences and diligently continues to effectuate a cure [but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days]) after written notice thereof by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to give any such notice more than one time within any twelve (12) month period for the same, recurring default; and provided that the events hereinafter enumerated shall be deemed events of default under this Lease without any notice, grace or cure period: (a) if any of the events specified in Paragraph 11 occur, or (b) if Tenant shall fail to substantiate Tenant’s satisfaction of its insurance requirements under this Lease at or prior to the Commencement Date or at any time during the term hereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3 above, or (c) if Tenant fails to take actual bona-fide occupancy of the Demised Premises or manifests an intention not to take actual, bona-fide occupancy of the Demised Premises, or if Tenant vacates or abandons the Demised Premises during the term hereof, (each of the foregoing an “Event of Default”), Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it by law or equity or by any other provisions hereof, may at any time thereafter, without further notice:
               (i) declare to be immediately due and payable, on account of the rent and other charges herein reserved for the balance of the term of this Lease (taken without regard to any

-33-


 

early termination of such term on account of an Event of Default), a sum equal to the Accelerated Rent Component (as hereinafter defined), in which event Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided; and/or
               (ii) whether or not Landlord has elected to recover the Accelerated Rent Component, terminate this Lease and the term hereby demised and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate and Tenant shall thereupon quit and surrender possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord in the condition elsewhere herein required in which event Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as herein provided.
          12.2. Accelerated Rent Component. For purposes hereof, the “Accelerated Rent Component” shall mean the aggregate of the sum of (a) all rent and other charges, payments, costs and expenses due from Tenant to Landlord and in arrears at the time of the election of Landlord to recover the Accelerated Rent Component; (b) the sum, discounted at the rate equal to the Wall Street Journal published prime rate of interest, of (x) minimum rent reserved for the then entire unexpired balance of the term of this Lease (taken without regard to any early termination of the term by virtue of an Event of Default), plus all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of such term which shall be capable of precise determination at the time of Landlord’s election to recover the Accelerated Rent Component; and (y) Landlord’s good faith estimate of all charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of such term which shall not be capable of precise determination as aforesaid (and for such purposes no estimate of any component of additional rent to accrue pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4 hereof shall be less than the amount which would be due if each such component continued at the average monthly rate or amount in effect during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Event of Default).
          12.3. Re-entry. In any case in which this Lease shall have been terminated, or in any case in which Landlord shall have elected to recover the Accelerated Rent Component and any portion of such sum shall remain unpaid, Landlord may, without further notice, enter upon and repossess the Demised Premises, by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Demised Premises and may have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises and the rents and profits therefrom. Landlord may, in its own name, as agent for Tenant, if this Lease has not been terminated, or in its own behalf, if this Lease has been terminated, relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such terms, conditions and provisions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine. Landlord may, in connection with any such reletting, cause the Demised Premises to be redecorated, altered, divided, consolidated with other space or otherwise changed or prepared for reletting. At Landlord’s option, such reletting shall or shall not be deemed a surrender and acceptance of the Demised Premises.
          12.4. Continuing Liability. Tenant shall, with respect to all periods of time up to and including the expiration of the term of this Lease (or what would have been the expiration date in the absence of default or breach) remain liable to Landlord as follows:

-34-


 

               (i) In the event of termination of this Lease on account of an Event of Default, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages equal to the rent and other charges payable under this Lease by Tenant as if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds of any reletting after deducting all costs incident thereto (including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage and management commission, operating and legal expenses and fees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for reletting, and interest relating thereto) and to the extent such damages shall not have been recovered by Landlord by virtue of payment by Tenant of the Accelerated Rent Component (but without prejudice to the right of Landlord to demand and receive the Accelerated Rent Component), such damages shall be payable to Landlord monthly upon presentation to Tenant of a bill for the amount due.
               (ii) In the event and so long as this Lease shall not have been terminated after an Event of Default, the rent and all other charges payable under this Lease shall be reduced by the net proceeds of any reletting by Landlord (after deducting all costs incident thereto as above set forth) and by any portion of the Accelerated Rent Component paid by Tenant to Landlord, and any amount due to Landlord shall be payable monthly upon presentation to Tenant of a bill for the amount due.
          12.5. Credit. In the event Landlord, after an Event of Default, shall recover the Accelerated Rent Component from Tenant and it shall be determined at the expiration of the term of this Lease (taken without regard to early termination for an event of Default) that a credit is due Tenant because the net proceeds of reletting, as aforesaid, plus the amounts paid to Landlord by Tenant exceed the aggregate of rent and other charges accrued in favor of Landlord to the end of such term, Landlord shall retain such excess.
          12.6. No Duty to Relet. Landlord shall in no event be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon a reletting, except to the extent of Landlord’s obligations under law. Without limiting the foregoing general statement of Landlord’s rights in such regard, Landlord shall have no obligation to relet all or any portion of the Demised Premises in preference or priority to any other space Landlord may have available for rent or lease elsewhere in the Building or otherwise.
          12.7. Confession of Judgment . LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE FOLLOWING RIGHTS TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING THROUGH TENANT, FOR POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES:
WHEN THIS LEASE SHALL BE TERMINATED BY REASON OF A DEFAULT BY TENANT OR ANY OTHER REASON WHATSOEVER, EITHER DURING THE ORIGINAL TERM OF THIS LEASE OR ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION THEREOF, AND ALSO WHEN THE TERM HEREBY CREATED OR ANY EXTENSION THEREOF SHALL HAVE EXPIRED, AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF AT LEAST THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING NOTICE THEREOF FROM LANDLORD TO TENANT, IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY ATTORNEY TO APPEAR FOR TENANT IN ANY AND ALL SUITS OR ACTIONS WHICH MAY BE BROUGHT FOR POSSESSION AND/OR EJECTMENT; AND AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER TENANT FOR THE RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF

-35-


 

POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE SHALL BE LANDLORD’S SUFFICIENT WARRANT. UPON SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION, IF LANDLORD SO DESIRES, A WRIT OF EXECUTION OR OF POSSESSION MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDINGS WHATSOEVER. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED, THE SAME SHALL BE DETERMINED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES SHALL REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO TENANT, THEN LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT OR CONTINUING DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, OR AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE, OR UPON THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH, TO BRING ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES.
               (i) In any action of ejectment, Landlord shall cause to be filed in such action an affidavit made by Landlord or someone acting for Landlord setting forth the facts necessary to authorize the entry of judgment, of which facts such affidavit shall be conclusive evidence. If a true copy of this Lease shall be filed in such action (and the truth of the copy as asserted in the affidavit of Landlord shall be sufficient evidence of same), it shall not be necessary to file the original Lease as a warrant of attorney, any rule of court, custom or practice to the contrary notwithstanding.
               (ii) Tenant expressly agrees, to the extent not prohibited by law, that any judgment, order or decree entered against it by or in any court or magistrate by virtue of the powers of attorney contained in this Lease shall be final, and that Tenant will not take an appeal, certiorari, writ of error, exception or objection to the same, or file a motion or rule to strike off or open or to stay execution of the same, and releases to Landlord and to any and all attorneys who may appear for Tenant all errors in such proceedings and all liability therefor.
               (iii) The right to enter judgment against Tenant and to enforce all of the other provisions of this Lease herein provided for, at the option of any assignee of this Lease, may be exercised by any assignee of Landlord’s right, title and interest in this Lease in Tenant’s own name, notwithstanding the fact that any or all assignments of such right, title and interest may not be executed and/or witnessed in accordance with the Act of Assembly of May 28, 1715, 1 Sm. L. 94, and all supplements and amendments thereto that have been or may hereafter be passed. Tenant hereby expressly waives the requirements of such Act of Assembly and any and all laws regulating the manner and/or form in which such assignments shall be executed and witnessed.
               (iv) Tenant acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, that it has read and discussed with such counsel the provisions herein relating to confession of judgment, and that it understands the nature and consequences of such provisions.
          12.8. Bankruptcy. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary Chapter 11 or 7 bankruptcy filing by or against Tenant, Tenant shall not seek to extend the time to assume or reject this Lease (under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code) to a date which is more than one hundred twenty (120) days subsequent to the filing date. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages incident to a

-36-


 

termination of this Lease, in any bankruptcy, reorganization or other court proceedings, the maximum amount allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect when such damages are to be proved.
          12.9. Waiver of Defects. Tenant hereby waives all errors and defects of a procedural nature in any proceedings brought against it by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant further waives the right to trial by jury and any notices to quit as may be specified in the Landlord and Tenant Act of Pennsylvania, Act of April 6, 1951 (68 P.S.C.A. Section 250.101 et seq.), as the same may have been or may hereafter be amended, and agrees that the notices provided in this Lease shall be sufficient in any case where a longer period may be statutorily specified.
          12.10. Non-Waiver by Landlord. The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the agreements, terms, covenants, conditions or obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any right, remedy or election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment in the future of such performance or exercise, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission.
          12.11. Partial Payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Minimum Rent or additional rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.
          12.12. Overdue Payments. If any payment required to be made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall not have been received by Landlord by 5:00 pm local time on the fifth (5th) day after the date such payment is due, then (i) in addition to such payment, and in order to partially compensate Landlord for the extra expense incurred in the handling of overdue payments, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue payment; and (ii) such overdue payment shall bear interest, from the date such overdue payment was due until it is paid, at the higher of (a) five percent (5%) above the highest prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, if available (and, if not available, then such comparable substitute rate as may be selected by Landlord), from time to time, and (b) the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or, if lower, the highest legal rate); provided, however, that if on two (2) occasions in any calendar year a payment required to be made by Tenant to Landlord shall not have been received by Landlord by 5:00 pm local time on the date such payment is due, then, and for the remainder of the Lease term, Tenant shall not be entitled to the five (5) day grace period set forth above in this Section, and the late fee shall be charged, and interest shall commence to accrue, if a payment is not received by Landlord by 5:00 pm local time on the date such payment is due. The late fee and interest set forth in this Section shall not affect any other right or remedy available to Landlord as a result of a failure by Tenant to make any payment as required under this Lease.
          12.13. Cumulative Remedies. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord or Tenant is intended to be exclusive of

-37-


 

any other right or remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any provision of this Lease, or to a decree compelling observance or performance of any provision of this Lease, or to any other legal or equitable remedy; provided, however, any such remedy shall be available to Tenant only if Landlord fails to comply with any provision or covenant in this Lease on the part of Landlord to be performed within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice thereof; provided, however, that if the failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure the failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith proceeds to cure the failure until completion. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any lost profits, lost business opportunities or consequential, punitive or exemplary damages (regardless of foreseeability).
     13. Subordination.
          13.1. General. Subject to Section 13.5 below, this Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases of the Building and to all mortgages, deeds of trust and similar security documents which may now or hereafter be secured upon the Building, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. This clause shall be self operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required by any lessor or mortgagee, but in confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute, within ten (10) days after request, any certificate that Landlord may reasonably require acknowledging such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party holding the instrument to which this Lease is subordinate shall have the right to recognize and preserve this Lease in the event of any foreclosure sale or possessory action, and in such case, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect at the option of the party holding the superior lien and Tenant shall attorn to such party and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that has for its purpose and effect the confirmation of such attornment. If Landlord shall so request, Tenant shall send to any mortgagee or ground lessor of the Building designated by Landlord, a copy of any notice or future notice given by Tenant to Landlord alleging (i) material breach by Landlord in its obligations under this Lease (ii) exercising an option to renew, expand or terminate the lease and (iii) any other material communications.
          13.2. Rights of Mortgagee or Ground Lessor. In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of each such mortgage and ground lease whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant in writing, and (ii) until a period of an additional thirty (30) days has expired after the period to which Landlord was entitled under this Lease to effect such remedy for a monetary default and forty-five (45) days for a non-monetary default.
          13.3. Modifications. If, in connection with obtaining, continuing or renewing financing for which the Building, Land or the Demised Premises or any interest therein represents collateral in whole or in part, a banking, insurance or other lender shall request reasonable modifications of this Lease as a condition of such financing, Tenant will not

-38-


 

unreasonably withhold, delay, condition or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder, reduce Tenant’s rights hereunder or adversely affect Tenant’s leasehold interest hereby created.
          13.4. Ground Lease. In the event of a termination of the ground lease existing as of the date of this Lease (the “Ground Lease”), the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by Tenant and Tenant shall attorn to the lessee under the Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the Building on such foreclosure, as the case may be. In the event of any action for the foreclosure of the existing mortgage secured upon the Building, this Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by Tenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease.
          13.5. SNDA. Landlord has obtained and delivered to Tenant, Landlord’s current mortgagee’s form of Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (a “SNDA”), to be entered into between Landlord, Tenant and Landlord’s current mortgagee, under which, among other things, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall not be adversely affected or modified by foreclosure or the exercise of any other right or remedy by the mortgagee so long as Tenant shall not be in default under any of the provisions of this Lease beyond any applicable period of grace, and under which Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the mortgagee or any purchaser at foreclosure sale or other successor-in-interest to Landlord as Tenant’s landlord hereunder. The form of SNDA from Landlord’s current mortgagee is attached hereto as Exhibit “H”. Provided that no Event of Default exists, and Tenant is occupying at least 30,000 rentable square feet of the Demised Premises, Landlord also agrees to obtain from any future mortgagee, such future mortgagee’s form of SNDA and this Lease shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage unless such form of SNDA provides Tenant commercially reasonable non-disturbance protection. If Tenant is occupying less than 30,000 rentable square feet in the Demised Premises, and no Event of Default exists, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable and best efforts to obtain a SNDA from each future mortgagee. Each SNDA shall be in the form required by the lender. Other than Tenant’s obligation to subordinate this Lease to future mortgagees, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be affected by Landlord’s failure to obtain a SNDA from any future mortgagee. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord or to the lender a SNDA within ten (10) days after a written request therefor. In any event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (within ten (10) days after any demand therefor), as additional rent, all costs and expenses incurred by and/or charged to Landlord in connection with Landlord’s efforts to secure each SNDA, including, without limitation, all costs, charges and expenses of each mortgagee and all of Landlord’s reasonable legal fees and costs (not to exceed $1,500 per SNDA, exclusive of mortgagees costs and charges), regardless of whether Landlord is ultimately successful in obtaining a SNDA.
     14. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder, to be effective, must be in writing (whether or not a writing is expressly required hereby), and must be either (i) hand delivered, or (ii) sent by a recognized national overnight courier service, fees prepaid, or (iii) sent by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; in all of the foregoing cases to the following respective addresses:

     15. Holding Over. Should Tenant continue to occupy the Demised Premises after expiration of the Term of this Lease or any renewal or renewals thereof, or after a forfeiture or other termination thereof, such tenancy shall (without limitation on any of Landlord’s rights or remedies therefor) be one at sufferance from month to month at a minimum monthly rent equal to the higher of 150% of (i) the sum of minimum rent and additional rent payable for the last month of the term of this Lease or (ii) the fair market rental for such space at the time of such holdover, and, in addition to either of the foregoing, all other charges payable with respect to such last month of this Lease and all damages suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of or arising from such holdover tenancy. Nothing contained herein shall grant Tenant the right to holdover after the term of this Lease has expired.
     16. Reservations in Favor of Landlord. 16.1. (i) All walls, windows and doors bounding the Demised Premises (including exterior Building walls, core corridor walls and doors and any core corridor entrance), except the inside surfaces thereof, (ii) any

-40-


 

terraces or roofs adjacent to the Demised Premises, and (iii) any space in or adjacent to the Demised Premises used for shafts, pipes, conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as reasonable access thereto through the Demised Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance, decoration and repair, are reserved to Landlord.
          16.2. Emergency Generator. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, and subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 16, may install and operate during the term of this Lease, an emergency generator (not exceeding such KVA as approved in advance by Landlord) and associated fuel tank on the Land adjacent to the Building in a location to be designated by Landlord and may run necessary cables and lines from the generator to the electrical panel in the Demised Premises (the emergency generator, fuel tank, and associated cables and lines are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Generator System”). The Generator System shall provide emergency back-up power to the Demised Premises only, and no other party shall make use of the Generator System.
          The Generator System shall constitute “Alterations” for purposes of Article 6.8 of the Lease and the design and installation thereof shall be performed by Tenant in compliance with this Lease.
          Landlord may require Tenant to paint the exterior components of the Generator System in a color selected by Landlord and/or install screening or landscaping in order to camouflage the exterior components of the Generator System, and/or to install sound deadening materials to prevent noise from the generator disturbing other tenants of the Building. Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish services of any kind to the Generator System or to make any alterations, repairs or replacements to any portion of the Building or Land in order to accommodate the installation or operation of the Generator System.
          During the term, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform all repairs and maintenance required to keep the Generator System in good working order, appearance and condition, and Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Building or Land caused by the installation or operation of the Generator System. Tenant shall operate the Generator System in compliance with all Governmental Requirements. Tenant may not relocate or modify any portion of the Generator System without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord’s prior written approval to such relocation or modification.
          Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, unless Landlord shall agree or request otherwise in writing, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, remove the entire Generator System, repair any damage caused by such removal, and restore all areas outside of the Building where any tank, generator or other components of the Generator System were located to a condition substantially the same as existed prior to the installation of the Generator System, and at Landlord’s request and at Tenant’s expense, provide Landlord with a so-called “Phase I” environmental report from an engineer reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying subject to customary limitations and standards, that the areas in which the generator and fuel tank have been located contain no Waste released by the Generator System. The provisions of Section 6.11 shall apply to any area affected hereby as if it were part of the Demised Premises.

-41-


 

          Landlord reserves the right, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to relocate all or any portion of the Generator System to another portion of the Land reasonably designated by Landlord (i) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense if such relocation is necessary for Landlord to perform any repairs, renovations, improvements to the Building or Land, or (ii) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense if Landlord requires the relocation of the Generator System for any reason other than as specified in the preceding clause (i).
     17. Completion of Improvements; Delay in Possession.
          17.1. Landlord Improvements. Provided there shall exist no Event of Default, Landlord, at Landlord’s own cost, shall furnish, install and otherwise provide and be responsible for all “Landlord Improvements” identified on Exhibit “F” and Exhibit “F-1”, and Landlord shall perform, observe and complete its obligations with respect to Landlord Improvements, all within the time periods therefor and all as more completely set forth herein and in Exhibit “F” and Exhibit “F-1”.
          17.2. Performance of Landlord Improvements. The responsibility for costs, preparation of preliminary and final plans, working drawings and specifications, bidding process, contracting, payment arrangements, and all other undertakings with respect to the design and performance of Landlord Improvements, and the timing and mechanics thereof and therefor, including Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective consent and approval rights related thereto, and also including matters relating to the consequences of delays and the meaning and definition of “Substantial Completion”, are all as set forth herein and in Exhibit “F” and Exhibit “F-1”.
          17.3. Acceptance. Tenant represents that the Building, Land, and the Demised Premises, the street or streets, sidewalks, parking areas, curbs and access ways adjoining them, and the present uses and non-uses thereof, have been examined by Tenant, and, subject to the express provisions of this Lease, Tenant accepts them in the condition or state in which they now are, or any of them now is, without relying on any representation, covenant or warranty, express or implied, by Landlord, except as may be expressly contained herein with respect to Landlord Improvements to be constructed in the Demised Premises. Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises shall constitute acceptance of the Landlord Improvements, as set forth in this Paragraph, subject to the express provisions of this Lease including, without limitation, paragraph 2.4 hereof. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.
          17.4. Delay in Possession. If Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant on the date specified for commencement of the term hereof (i) if repairs, improvements or decoration of the Demised Premises, or of the Building, are not completed, or (ii) because of the operation of a “force majeure” (as defined below), or (iii) because Landlord has not procured a certificate of completion for the entire Demised Premises issued by Landlord’s third party architect as required in Section 2.2, or (iv) for any reason identified in Exhibit “F” or Exhibit “F-1” attached hereto, or for any other reason not caused by the act or omission of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, then in any such case Landlord shall not be subject to any liability to Tenant. Under such circumstances, except as set forth in Exhibit “F” or Exhibit “F-1” to this Lease relating to delays resulting from actions or omissions by Tenant, the rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein and the term of this

-42-


 

Lease shall not commence until possession of the Demised Premises is given or the Demised Premises are available for occupancy by Tenant, and no such failure to give possession shall in any other respect affect the validity of this Lease or any obligation of the Tenant hereunder (except as to the date of commencement of accrual of rent).
     However, notwithstanding the foregoing, but only to the extent the delay is due to the acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 2.1:
     (1) If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Demised Premises by December 1, 2008, and until the date on which Landlord delivers the Demised Premises in the condition set forth in Paragraph 2.1, Tenant shall receive a credit against Tenant’s minimum rent due under this Lease equal to the difference between the base rent paid by Tenant for holding over in Tenant’s current location at 30 South 17th Street, Philadelphia, PA (the “Current Location”) and the base rent paid by Tenant prior to such holdover (up to a maximum of 200% of such base rent) for every day from December 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, or such later date until June 15, 2009. Tenant agrees to use reasonable efforts to continue in occupancy of the Current Location as required for Tenant’s business beyond December 31, 2008.
     (2) If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Demised Premises by January 1, 2009, and only if Tenant is required to vacate the Current Location, Landlord shall, at its option, for the period from January 1, 2009 through June 14, 2009 or until Landlord delivers the Demised Premises: (i) provide Tenant with temporary space in the Building, at the same per square foot rate that Tenant paid at the Current Location (prior to the imposition of any holdover rent), and reimburse Tenant for its actual, out of pocket expenses incurred in moving into such temporary space or (ii) (x) reimburse Tenant, upon receipt of invoices, for the actual, out of pocket cost of transporting Tenant’s executives and other essential personnel to and from Tenant’s office in London, England (in excess of such costs typically incurred in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business) and/or (y) reimburse Tenant for the cost paid by Tenant for leasing temporary space reasonably required by Tenant at another location in Center City Philadelphia, including “executive suites” or a comparable building. If required to find temporary space in a location other than the Building, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate such temporary space. Landlord agrees that the temporary space at the Building, if provided, shall be no less than 15,000 rentable square feet of contiguous office space and, if available, such other space as Tenant may require for its ekg logistics use, which space may be separately located from the office space.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will pay no more than 200% of the base rent being paid by Tenant at the Current Location (prior to the imposition of holdover rent). Unless and until Tenant is required to vacate the Current Location, Landlord will pay only the amounts set forth in paragraph 1 above, including such amounts set forth in paragraph 1 if Tenant remains in the Current Location beyond December 31, 2008.

          30.1. Grant of Option.

               (A) At the time of each Tenant’s Conditional Renewal Notice (as defined below) is received by Landlord, and at the time of each Tenant’s Unconditional Renewal Notice (as defined below) is received by Landlord, and at the time each such Renewal Term commences, the Lease shall be in full force and effect and no Event of Default under the Lease shall exist; provided, however, that if on the applicable date of Tenant’s Conditional Renewal Notice or Unconditional Renewal Notice, there is an event which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred, Tenant’s failure to cure such event within the applicable cure period under the Lease shall, at Landlord’s election, render Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option null and void.
               (B) EACH OF TENANT’S UNCONDITIONAL RENEWAL NOTICE SHALL SPECIFICALLY STATE THAT TENANT GRANTS THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY TO LANDLORD TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST IT AND SHALL RESTATE IN ITS ENTIRETY PARAGRAPH 12.7 OF THE LEASE RELATING TO SUCH MATTERS;

-49-


 

          30.2. Procedure. If Tenant wishes to exercise a Renewal Option, Tenant shall follow the following procedure:
               (A) Tenant shall give written notice (each a “Tenant’s Conditional Renewal Notice”) to Landlord (i) on or before one (1) year prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Lease (but not earlier than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the initial term) stating that Tenant desires to preserve its right to exercise the first Renewal Option and (ii) on or before one (1) year prior to the expiration of the first Renewal Term (but not before eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the first Renewal Term) stating that Tenant desires to preserve its right to exercise the second Renewal Option.
               (B) Within ten (10) days after receiving a Tenant’s Conditional Renewal Notice, Landlord shall give Tenant, in writing, notice (each a “Landlord’s Response”) which shall include: (a) Landlord’s then offered rental rates and annual escalations applicable to the Renewal Term (collectively, the “Prevailing Market Rate”, the calculation of which Prevailing Market Rate is described below) (which rate for the first year of the Renewal Term shall be not less than the escalated annual minimum rent plus the estimated additional rent for all of the Demised Premises established for the last year of the Lease term or the first Renewal Term, as the case may be), (b) the leasehold improvement allowance, if any, and other tenant-incentives, if any, which Landlord is at that time customarily offering to tenants of the Building whose leases are expiring, and (c) provisions relating to additional rent (including Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses); all as adjusted by Landlord to reflect the time periods covered by, and length of, such Renewal Term.
     For purposes hereof, the “Prevailing Market Rate” shall mean the rent to be paid by existing tenants under renewals of existing leases where the rent for the renewal term thereunder is to be determined at the time of renewal. The effective date of such rentals of comparable space shall be within one (1) year preceding the date of Landlord’s Response. If, however, an insufficient number of renewals of comparable space in the Building have been entered into during such one (1) year period to effectively determine the Prevailing Market Rate, Landlord shall consider renewals of existing leases of comparable space (as defined below) in Comparable Buildings (as defined below), and if there are not a sufficient number of renewals of existing leases of comparable space in Comparable Buildings to effectively determine the Prevailing Market Rate, Prevailing Market Rate may include the rent to be paid for comparable space by new tenants of the Building or Comparable Buildings. For purposes of this Section, “comparable space” shall mean tenancies of office space in the Building of similar size, term, tenant improvement allowances, base year and location (adjusted on a square foot basis to reflect the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises), and if no such comparable space has been leased by Landlord in the Building within the one (1) year preceding the date of Landlord’s Response, then “comparable space” shall mean space of similar size, term, tenant improvement allowances, base year and location in comparable office buildings (based on buildings of comparable quality and location and only including buildings constructed since 1990 in the Center City, Market Street West sub-market, “Comparable Buildings”). If the manner of charging Operating Expenses or Taxes or other items of escalation to tenants in the Building, or in comparable buildings utilized by Landlord or such other landlords is different from that set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall make an adjustment to the Prevailing Market Rate to take such difference into account and shall make further adjustments for relevant differences such as size

-50-


 

of space, term, location and incentives for initial occupancy (and the inapplicability of such incentives in the case of renewals or extensions).
               (C) If Tenant wishes to exercise a Renewal Option, Tenant must, within fifteen (15) days after receiving a Landlord’s Response (each such period of time is referred to herein as a “Tenant Response Period”), give written unconditional notice (“Tenant’s Unconditional Renewal Notice”) to Landlord, stating that Tenant is exercising such Renewal Option. A Tenant’s Unconditional Renewal Notice shall constitute Tenant’s agreement with all of the terms and conditions such Landlord’s Response.
          30.3. Terms of Option. If a Renewal Option is effectively exercised, all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall continue to apply during such Renewal Term, except that:
               (A) There shall be no further right of renewal beyond the second Renewal Term;
               (B) There shall be no rent abatements, construction allowances, or other concessions for or with respect to such Renewal Term (except to the extent the same were contained in the relevant Landlord’s Response); and
               (C) The annual minimum rent during such Renewal Term shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the annual minimum rent set forth in the relevant Landlord’s Response or as determined pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 30.6 below (provided, however that the annual minimum rent for the first year of a Renewal Term shall be not less than the escalated annual minimum rent plus the estimated additional rent for all of the Demised Premises established for the last year of the Lease term or the first Renewal Term, as the case may be), and all annual minimum rent and all additional rent for and during such Renewal Term shall be paid in the manner and at the times required by the Lease.
          30.4. Failure To Exercise. In the event Tenant fails to provide to Landlord (i) a Tenant’s Conditional Renewal Notice, or (ii) a Tenant’s Unconditional Renewal Notice, in either case, in the manner and within the applicable time periods set forth herein, such Renewal Option shall automatically and immediately terminate and Tenant shall have no other Renewal Option. In such event, such Renewal Option shall be of no force or effect and Landlord shall be free to lease the Demised Premises to any other person or entity, on whatever business terms Landlord may choose.
          30.5. Time of the Essence. Landlord and Tenant agree that all time periods and deadlines contained in each such Renewal Option are of the essence.
          30.6. Tenant’s Disagreement with Landlord’s Response. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rate as set forth in Landlord’s Response, then, not later than fifteen (15) days following the receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s Response as aforesaid, Tenant shall be permitted to exercise, in writing, either of the following two (2) options:
               (A) Tenant may revoke a previously exercised Renewal Option; or

-51-


 

               (B) Tenant may invoke arbitration under this Section 30.6(B) (any such notice is referred to as an “Arbitration Notice”). Tenant’s Arbitration Notice shall include (i) on the cover page, in all capital letters and in bold-face type, a statement that it is an Arbitration Notice under the Lease; and (ii) Tenant’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rate (which shall be presented in the form set forth in Landlord’s Notice). Each party shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Arbitration Notice, appoint an auditor and the two (2) auditors so appointed shall, within five (5) business days after the second of them has been appointed, appoint a third auditor (the “Third Auditor”). All auditors (including the Third Auditor) shall have at least ten (10) years experience in the leasing and marketing of first-class commercial office buildings similar to the Building and shall have no “disqualifying interest” (as defined below). If the two (2) auditors selected by the parties are unable to agree upon the Third Auditor within such five (5) business day period, either party may apply to the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Arbitration Association for the appointment of the Third Auditor. If either party fails to appoint an auditor within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the auditor appointed by the other party shall be the Third Auditor. The Third Auditor shall review Landlord’s and Tenant’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rate and shall select the determination which the Third Auditor believes is most accurate; it is acknowledged and agreed that the Third Auditor shall only have the authority to select the determination of the Prevailing Market Rate as calculated by either Landlord or Tenant (and the Third Auditor shall have no power or authority to select any other determination) and shall render its decision within ten (10) days after submission of the issue to the Third Auditor. The parties agree that the decision of the Third Auditor shall be final and binding on the parties for the Renewal Term and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of all auditors shall be paid by the losing party. For purposes hereof, “disqualifying interest” means any direct or indirect financial or other business interest in Landlord or Tenant or any entity affiliated with either of them.
               (C) If Tenant fails to notify Landlord, in writing, of its exercise of either of the options set forth in Sections 30.6(A) or (B) above within fifteen (15) days following the receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s Response (time being of the essence thereof), then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s determination of the “Prevailing Market Rate” as set forth in Landlord’s Response, and the Lease shall be renewed and extended for the Renewal Term, on and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.]
     31. Tenant’s Right of First Offer.
     Tenant is hereby granted the right and option (the “First Offer Option”) to lease space (the “First Offer Space”) on the eighth (8th) or eleventh (11th) floor of the Building which (i) is then available for lease and (ii) not leased or subject to any renewal, expansion, or other option set forth in leases in effect for the Building as of the date of this Lease. The First Offer Option as aforesaid is hereby granted to Tenant all on and subject to the following terms and conditions:
          31.1. Landlord’s RFO Notice. Subject to the terms set forth herein, if at any time during the term of this Lease (the “First Offer Period”), Landlord shall determine that all or a portion of the First Offer Space shall become available during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of such availability of the First Offer Space (“Landlord’s RFO Notice”). Landlord’s RFO Notice shall identify the applicable portion of the First Offer Space

-52-


 

which shall become available (to include the location and number of rentable square feet) and shall contain the proposed business terms of a lease amendment between Landlord and Tenant in respect of such space, which business terms shall include: (i) the commencement date (the “First Offer Space Commencement Date”) and the expiration date (the “First Offer Space Expiration Date”), which First Offer Space Expiration Date shall be, subject to Section 31.3 below, the expiration date of this Lease, but in no event shall the First Offer Space Expiration Date be less than sixty (60) months after the First Offer Space Commencement Date, (ii) rental rates and other business terms, which shall be based on Landlord’s then offered rental rates and other business terms, (iii) provisions relating to additional rent (including Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses), and (iv) provisions relating to the tenant improvement allowance, which shall be based on Landlord’s then offered tenant improvement allowance, adjusted for the term of the Lease with respect to such First Offer Space.
          31.2. Definition of “available”. For the specific purposes of this Section, First Offer Space shall be considered “available” only if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, such space is not leased, or subject to lease, for any part of the period commencing on the First Offer Space Commencement Date and expiring on the First Offer Space Expiration Date; provided, however, that (i) Landlord may permit any then existing tenant to renew or extend its lease (either by the execution of a new lease or by an amendment to its existing lease), whether or not such lease contains an option to do so, and the space subject to any such lease shall not be considered “available”; and (ii) space recaptured by Landlord from a tenant as a result of Landlord exercising its right to do so upon receiving a request to sublease shall not be considered “available”.
          31.3. Exercise. A First Offer Option must be exercised on and subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) a First Offer Option must be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by written notice from Tenant to Landlord given not later than twenty (20) days following the date of Tenant’s receipt of a Landlord’s RFO Notice in respect thereof; and (ii) at the time of exercising any First Offer Option, this Lease shall be in full force and effect and no Event of Default under the Lease shall exist on the date that Tenant exercises the First Offer Option; provided, however, that if on the date that Tenant exercises the First Offer Option, an event which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred, Tenant’s failure to cure such event within the applicable cure period under the Lease shall, at Landlord’s election, render Tenant’s exercise of the First Offer Option null and void. If there shall remain less than sixty (60) full calendar months in the term of this Lease at the time Tenant exercises a First Offer Option, then Tenant shall be required to exercise its next following Renewal Option as a condition of its exercising said First Offer Option (or if there shall not then be available any Renewal Option, then the First Offer Option shall be null and void). Tenant’s exercise of the First Offer Option shall constitute Tenant’s agreement with all of the terms and conditions of Landlord’s RFO Notice. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of its First Offer Option.
          31.4. Lease Terms. In the event a First Offer Option is effectively exercised, all terms and conditions contained in the Lease shall continue to apply in respect of the First Offer Space so taken, effective as of the First Offer Space Commencement Date, on and subject to (and expressly including) all of the terms and provisions set forth in the applicable Landlord’s RFO Notice. All First Offer Space that is taken, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of

-53-


 

this Section, shall become part of the Demised Premises and included as such for all purposes of the Lease. If Tenant effectively exercises its First Offer Option, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter execute an amendment to this Lease confirming such exercise and reflecting the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Landlord’s RFO Notice.
          31.5. Failure to Exercise. In the event Tenant fails to exercise a First Offer Option in the manner and within the applicable time period therefor set forth herein, then the First Offer Option with respect to that space so offered by Landlord shall immediately terminate and Tenant shall have no other First Offer Option with respect to such space. Upon Tenant’s failure to exercise a First Offer Option, Landlord shall be free to lease such First Offer Space to any other person or entity, provided Landlord shall not consummate a lease with such third party if the aggregate economic terms, adjusted appropriately, are less than ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate economic terms stated in Landlord’s RFO Notice, without first offering such terms to Tenant.

          32.1. Landlord’s Notice. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice (“Landlord’s Notice”) upon Landlord signing a term sheet or letter of intent with any prospective tenant for any RFR Space. Landlord and Tenant agree that if the space that is the subject of such term sheet or letter of intent includes other space in addition to the RFR Space as part of a single transaction, all of such space shall collectively be subject to the provisions of this Section 32, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 32.2 below. Landlord’s Notice shall identify the applicable space and shall contain the proposed terms of a lease amendment between Landlord and Tenant in respect of such space, which terms shall be based upon the terms set forth in the term sheet or letter of intent between Landlord and such prospective tenant, and which shall include: (i) commencement date and expiration date, (ii) minimum rent (and increases in or adjustments of minimum rent), (iii) provisions relating to additional rent (including, but not limited to, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and the Base Amount for Taxes and Operating Expenses) and (iv) construction allowances or other concessions. In respect of the foregoing, Landlord’s Notice (and the terms set forth therein) shall in all cases provide for the following: (a) as to allowances, Tenant will be offered a

-54-


 

construction allowance in respect of the RFR Space equal to the allowance offered to such prospective tenant adjusted to reflect the difference between the term of such proposed lease with such prospective tenant and the remaining term of this Lease; and (b) as to minimum rental rate, the minimum rent which shall be offered to Tenant shall be the greater of (x) the rental rate offered to such prospective tenant or (y) the rental rate then currently paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
          32.2. Exercise. A First Refusal Option must be exercised, if at all, on and subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) a First Refusal Option must be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by notice from Tenant to Landlord given not later than five (5) business days following the date of Tenant’s receipt of a Landlord’s Notice in respect thereof; (ii) at the time of exercising any First Refusal Option, this Lease shall be in full force and effect and there shall exist no Event of Default or event which, with the passing of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, and (iii) Tenant must lease the RFR Space starting from the demising wall located on the northeast side of the Building. If there shall remain less than sixty (60) full calendar months in the term of this Lease at the time Tenant exercises a First Refusal Option, then Tenant shall be required to exercise its next following Renewal Option as a condition of its exercising said First Refusal Option (or if there shall not then be available any Renewal Option; then in either case the First Refusal Option shall be null and void). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 32, for any Landlord’s Notice received by Tenant pursuant to this Section 32 in the first two (2) years of the Term of this Lease, Tenant, irrespective of the amount of the RFR Space, shall have the right to take a specified area agreed upon by Tenant which comprises at least fifty percent (50%) of the remaining available space on the 9th floor not previously leased by Tenant, even if such area is less than all of the space subject to the Landlord’s Notice, provided that Landlord may adjust the size of such space by up to five percent (5%) (more or less) to ensure the marketability of the residual space.
          32.3. Lease Terms. In the event a First Refusal Option is effectively exercised as aforesaid, all terms and conditions contained in the Lease shall continue to apply in respect of the space so taken, effective as of the commencement date for the space so taken, on and subject to (and expressly including) all of the terms and provisions set forth in the applicable Landlord’s Notice. All space that is taken, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 32, shall become part of the Demised Premises and included as such for all purposes of the Lease, and all space so taken shall be leased for the term as set forth in Landlord’s Notice. If Tenant effectively exercises its First Refusal Option as aforesaid, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter execute an amendment to this Lease confirming such exercise and reflecting the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Landlord’s Notice.
          32.4. Failure to Exercise. In the event Tenant fails to exercise a First Refusal Option in the manner and within the applicable time period therefor set forth herein, such unexercised First Refusal Option shall lapse and the First Refusal Option no longer shall be of any force or effect if Landlord shall then lease the RFR Space described in such term sheet or letter of intent to the tenant with whom Landlord shall have entered in the term sheet or letter of intent.
          32.5. No Applicability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 32 to the contrary, the terms and conditions of this Section 32 and Tenant’s First Refusal Option shall

-55-


 

not apply to (i) any space that is subject to any renewal, expansion, or other option heretofore given or granted to any existing occupant of the Building or (ii) any space where Landlord has permitted any then-existing tenant to renew or extend its lease (either by the execution of a new lease or by an amendment to its existing lease) with respect to such space, whether or not such lease contains an option to do so.

     During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall make available to Tenant, at the then current rate being charged by the owner or manager of the parking garage, twelve (12) reserved parking spaces (the “Reserved Spaces”) on the same level within the garage that is located at the Building, pursuant to the customary leasing or licensing agreement used by the owner or manager of the parking garage.

          34.1. Installation of Equipment. The Equipment shall be installed, used, operated and maintained solely in the space designated by Landlord (the “Licensed Space”) and solely at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall coordinate any installation activities with Landlord and shall neither bring equipment to the site, nor commence its installation within the Licensed Space, without first giving Landlord reasonable notice of the date and time of the planned installation. Tenant shall furnish Landlord, for Landlords prior approval, detailed plans and specifications for any future installations. Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all costs and expenses in connection with the installation, use, operation and maintenance of the Equipment and will not suffer or permit any mechanic liens to be claimed as a result of any such work.

          34.2 Operation of the Equipment. Tenant will, at all times in connection with the installation, use, operation and maintenance of the Equipment, comply with all federal, state and local governmental and quasi-governmental laws, statutes, codes, rules, ordinances and regulations affecting the installation, use, operation and maintenance of the Equipment, including applicable building and fire codes, and will particularly comply with all requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Communications Commission in respect thereof. In connection with the foregoing, Tenant, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, shall be obligated to secure and obtain all required permits, approvals and licenses for or with respect to the installation and operation of the Equipment prior to the commencement of any installation activities hereunder, and Tenant shall be obligated to keep in force and renew all thereof before the same, or any of thereof, shall expire.
               (i) The use of the Equipment by Tenant will be such as not to cause any interference (as defined by engineering standards of the Federal Communications Commission) with communication or other equipment presently or hereafter located at or about the Building and belonging to or operated by Landlord, any tenant or other occupant of the Building or any parties to whom Landlord has previously granted rights, or hereafter may grant rights. Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims for damages due to its Equipment or the transmissions therefrom which cause any such interference. Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of any claim from third parties of alleged interference created by Tenant’s installation or from transmissions or receptions from such installations. Upon receipt of any notification from Landlord of any such claimed interference, Tenant will undertake the handling of such claim and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all cost and expenses arising by reason of such claim. As part of the installation of the Equipment, Tenant will appropriately filter and trap any and all byproducts or interferences through existing broadcast installations and their signals or through other appropriate means.

               (iii) For all purposes of this License, the Equipment shall be considered personal property and shall remain the property of Tenant. Landlord shall not be obligated or responsible for, and Tenant alone shall be responsible for, any damage, theft or vandalism of the Equipment and for any and all expenses resulting from any such damage, theft or vandalism, except if the same is caused by the negligent or willful act of Landlord or its employees or agents.

-57-


 

               (iv) Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease the Equipment shall be removed by the Tenant and the roof of the Building shall be repaired and restored to its original condition by the Tenant, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
          34.3. Indemnity. Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any claim for damage to person or property arising out of or in connection with the exercise of Tenant’s rights pursuant to this Section 34, or otherwise arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s installation, use, maintenance, operation, repair, removal or replacement of the Equipment.
          34.4. Insurance. All installation, repair, reorientation, removal or reinstallation of the Equipment and its use, operation and maintenance, shall comply with all requirements of the insurance company insuring the Building against fire, windstorm, liability and extended coverage damage. Should the activities of Tenant pursuant to this Section 34 result in any increase of insurance premium, the amount of such increase will be paid for solely by Tenant.
          34.5. Non-Exclusivity. Tenant’s right to install the Equipment is exclusive solely as to the Licensed Space and does not confer upon Tenant the right to exclusive use of the other roof areas of the Building, it being understood that Landlord may, from time to time, grant similar rights to other tenants in the Building provided their activities do not unreasonably interfere with the activities of Tenant permitted hereby.
          34.6. Placement. It is expressly understood and acknowledged that the installation and placement of the Equipment from both an aesthetic and an engineering standpoint, is of substantial importance to Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with plans indicating the placement and installation of the Equipment which shall be approved by Landlord. No variation from the plans for the Equipment submitted to Landlord by Tenant will be permitted without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant may, upon reasonable notice to Landlord and at Tenant’s own cost, repair, replace, reorient or remove the Equipment or any portion thereof, or replace the same with generally similar equipment, provided that (1) any new equipment does not weigh substantially more than the Equipment and can be properly accommodated on the roof of the Building without placing greater demands upon the electrical, mechanical, structural, life safety and other building systems of the Building; (2) Tenant at its cost, shall restore the roof of the Building to the condition in which it was prior to such repair, reorientation, removal or replacement, and all of such repair, reorientation, removal or replacement shall be performed in accordance with good engineering practice and by contractors or other persons approved by Landlord; and (3) all plans and designs of Tenant relating to any such repair, reorientation, removal or replacement shall in any case be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord.
          34.7 Relocation. Landlord, at its sole expense, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant (the “Equipment Relocation Notice”), may require Tenant to relocate from the Licensed Space to other space of comparable size on the roof of the Building. In the event of any such relocation, Landlord shall pay the reasonable expenses of moving Tenant’s Equipment to the new space. Use and occupancy by Tenant of the new space shall be under and pursuant to the same terms, conditions and provisions of this License (with the exception of the designation of the new premises as the Licensed Space) and Tenant shall execute any and all amendments to this

-58-


 

License as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the replacement space designated by Landlord in the Equipment Relocation Notice to Tenant is not suitable for Tenant’s use pursuant to this License, then Tenant may terminate this License by written notice to Landlord, which termination notice shall only be effective if it is received by Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Equipment Relocation Notice.
          34.8 Assignment Provision. If Landlord grants an exclusive right to maintain and/or manage rooftop communications equipment at the Building to a third party which is not a party to this agreement, then Landlord shall, following thirty (30) days advance notice to Tenant, make reasonable efforts to assign this License to such third party.

Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications (the “Final Plans”) for the construction of the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space for Tenant’s occupancy, including partition and electric requirements and all information for all special equipment, on which Tenant will endeavor to designate (with specificity) all items with a long lead time for procurement. The Final Plans shall be in substantial compliance with the preliminary plans and specifications prepared by D2 Solutions as Plan No. TF-2.1 and TF-2.2; dated June 11, 2008 (the “Preliminary Plans”). If additional mechanical, electrical, plumbing and/or engineering drawings, millwork details or other specifications or details (collectively, the “Other Drawings”) are required for Landlord to obtain any governmental approval(s) or to construct the Landlord Improvements (as defined below), Tenant shall cause such Other Drawings to be prepared. Within five (5) business days after submission (or re-submission) by Tenant to Landlord of the Final Plans and/or the Other Drawings for Landlord’s approval, Landlord shall give written approval thereof to Tenant or shall specify in detail any non-conformity.
               1.2. Payment for Plans. All architectural and engineering costs in preparation of the Preliminary Plans, Final Plans and Other Drawings shall be included in the total cost for the Landlord Improvements (as defined below).
          2. Landlord Work.
               2.1 Provided there shall exist no Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall, in a good and workmanlike manner, cause the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space to be completed in accordance with the Final Plans or Other Drawings (as the case may be) approved by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof and, except as otherwise specified in the Final Plans or Other Drawings, in accordance with Building Standards (the “Landlord Improvements”).

Landlord reserves the right (i) to make substitutions of material of equivalent grade and quality when and if any specified material shall not be readily and reasonably available, and (ii) to make changes necessitated by conditions met during the course of construction, provided that Tenant’s approval of any substantial change shall first be obtained (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as there shall be general conformity with the Final Plans or Other Drawings, as the case may be).

F-1


 

               2.2 In addition to the Landlord Improvements, prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord, at its sole cost, will (i) renovate the existing restrooms on the Ninth and Tenth floor of the Building in accordance with Building Standards established for the 19th floor of the Building and (ii) construct a uni-sex common restroom on the Ninth floor, which restroom will comply with applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
               2.3 In connection with the Landlord Improvements, Landlord will obtain and enforce the one (1) year warranty given to Landlord by its general contractor under the AIA, A107 contract as follows, or in a substantially similar form: “The Contractor warrants to the Owner that materials and equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents, that the Work will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted, and that the Work will conform with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation or normal wear and tear and normal usage.” To the extent that Landlord’s contractor fails to perform its obligations under the warranty, Landlord will perform such obligations. Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of the cost of repair, replacement or correction of defects in materials and construction of the Landlord Improvements during the period such warranty remains in effect, unless caused by Tenant.
          3. Charges for Work. Landlord’s maximum allowance amount for Landlord Improvements (including for all Building Standard work) is Forty-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($45.00) per rentable square foot of the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space collectively (i.e., a maximum allowance of $2,108,205.00) (the “Construction Allowance”). Tenant may use up to ten percent (10%) of the Construction Allowance (i.e. $210,820.50) toward the costs of Tenant’s telephone and computer cabling and wiring, furniture, equipment and architectural, engineering and project management fees. The cost of improvements or work (including Landlord Improvements) in excess of the Construction Allowance shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All Landlord’s Work shall be bid out to at least three contractors mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant which requests for bids shall require that the work be completed so as to permit Tenant to be delivered possession of the Demised Premises by the date specified in the Lease. All bids shall be open to Tenant’s review upon Landlord’s receipt and the selection of the contractor to whom the work shall be awarded shall be decided jointly by Landlord and Tenant. The total cost of such Landlord Improvements shall be equal to Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Landlord Improvements, including, but not limited to, all architectural and engineering costs in preparation of the Preliminary Plans, Final Plans and Other Drawings, Landlord’s contract or purchase price for materials, labor and services. Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to commencement of construction of the estimated amount, if any, by which the cost of Landlord Improvements will exceed the Construction Allowance. Landlord shall not be obligated to commence work on the Landlord Improvements unless and until Tenant agrees to pay the additional cost involved in completing the Landlord

F-2


 

Improvements (and, if requested by Landlord, Tenant provides reasonable assurances of such payment), and any delay occasioned by the decision of Tenant whether to pay the difference or to revise the Final Plans or Other Drawings (as the case may be) and any delay of Tenant to provide such assurances, shall be deemed a Tenant-caused delay under this Lease, and shall not delay the Commencement Date or the date upon which rent commences to accrue hereunder.
          4. Payment for Work. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all excess of the cost of Landlord Improvements that is greater than Tenant’s Construction Allowance, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by Tenant of an invoice or invoices therefor (which invoice or invoices, at Landlord’s election, may be presented from time to time prior to, upon, or following the Commencement Date of the term hereof, but not more frequently than once a month). Landlord will provide reasonable backup information with each invoice to verify the cost of the Landlord Improvements in excess of the Construction Allowance.
          5. Changes. If Tenant requests changes to the Landlord Improvements after Landlord and Tenant have approved the Final Plans and Other Drawings (as the case may be), Tenant shall pay the entire cost of such changes in excess of the Construction Allowance. The total cost shall be equal to Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the changes, including Landlord’s direct out-of-pocket costs plus a construction administration fee equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the entire cost of such changes. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for any delays resulting from the changes pursuant to Paragraph 9 below.
          6. Access.
               6.1 Landlord shall afford Tenant and its employees, agents and contractors access to the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space, at reasonable times prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, and at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, for the purposes of inspecting and verifying the performance and completion of the Landlord Improvements. Tenant shall inspect the performance of Landlord Improvements regularly and diligently and shall advise Landlord promptly of any objections to the performance of the work. Access for such purposes shall not be deemed to constitute possession or occupancy. Landlord shall promptly undertake and diligently prosecute the correction of any defective work of which it is notified as aforesaid.
               6.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 7 below, commencing thirty (30) days prior to Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements, Tenant shall have access to the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space for the purposes of installing telecommunications wiring and cabling, and commencing fifteen (15) days prior to Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements, Tenant shall have access to the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space for the purposes of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment in preparation for tenant’s occupancy of the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space. In connection with such access, Tenant agrees (i) to cease promptly upon notice from Landlord any activity or work which has not been approved by Landlord (where such approval is required) or is not in compliance with the provisions of the Lease or which

F-3


 

shall interfere with or delay the performance of the Landlord Improvements, and (ii) to comply and cause its contractors to comply promptly with all reasonable procedures and regulations prescribed by Landlord from time-to-time for coordinating work being performed by Landlord and work being performed by Tenant, each with the other, and with any other activity or work in the Building. Such access by Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all the applicable provisions of the Lease, except that (a) there shall be no obligation on the part of Tenant solely because of such access to pay Minimum Rent or any Additional Rent on account of Operating Expenses or Taxes for any period prior to the Commencement Date, and (b) Tenant shall not be deemed thereby to have taken or accepted possession of the 9th Floor Space or 10th Floor Space or any portion thereof. If Tenant fails or refuses to comply or cause its contractor to comply with any of the obligations described or referred to above, then immediately upon notice to Tenant, Landlord may revoke Tenant’s right of access to the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space until the Commencement Date.

reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until possession of the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space is given or the 9th Floor Space and 10th Floor Space are available for occupancy by Tenant. No such failure to give possession or other delay shall in any other respect affect the validity of this Lease or any obligation of the Tenant hereunder (except as to the date of commencement of accrual of rent).
               9.2. Tenant Delay. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease (including, without limitation, this Exhibit “F”) to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Landlord Improvements resulting from a Tenant Delay (as defined below) shall constitute a delay caused by Tenant and for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1.

EXHIBIT “F-1”
RESPECTING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CONCOURSE SPACE
          1. Tenant Plans. Tenant shall cause to be prepared, at its cost and expense (which cost may be paid for out of the Construction Allowance, as defined in Exhibit F), specifications and partition plans regarding the construction of the Landlord Improvements (as defined below) to the Concourse Space (the “Final Plans”) which shall be based upon the preliminary plans prepared by D2 Solutions as Plan Id. Concourse TF2.3 dated February 28, 2008 and last revised March 13, 2008, with pricing notes dated March 5, 2008 (together, the “Preliminary Plans”, a copy of which is attached hereto). The Preliminary Plans have been approved by Landlord and Tenant for the construction of the Landlord Improvements (as defined below) in the Concourse Space, and provided the cost to construct the Landlord Improvements in accordance with the Final Plans does not exceed the cost to complete the Landlord Improvements as such improvements are shown on the Preliminary Plans, the parties shall review and approve or reject the Final Plans within two (2) business days from the date such Final Plans have been completed by Tenant and submitted to Landlord. Tenant shall prepare, if determined by Landlord to be necessary to construct the Landlord Improvements, working construction drawings based on such Final Plans. To the extent, if any, that the cost to construct the Landlord Improvements in accordance with the Final Plans (as determined based upon the bids received by Landlord to complete the Landlord Improvements), exceeds the estimated cost to complete the Landlord Improvements as set forth in the Preliminary Plans due to changes to the Landlord Improvements requested by Tenant, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the reasons for such increased cost and Tenant shall determine, within two (2) business days from the date such Final Plans have been approved by Landlord, whether to forego such additional cost items or agree to pay for such excess cost items. Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans (and any other document(s)) shall not constitute an implication, certification or representation by Landlord that the improvements contemplated thereby are in compliance with Governmental Requirements. Notwithstanding the pricing notes, at Tenant’s request and Tenant’s expense, Landlord shall install, in the Concourse Space at such location as Tenant shall specify, all required additional electrical equipment for charging EKG and similar equipment used by Tenant in its business.
          2. Landlord Work.
               2.1. Provided there shall exist no Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall, in a good and workmanlike manner, cause the Concourse Space to be completed in accordance with the Final Plans approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof and otherwise in accordance with the Building Standards (the “Landlord Improvements”). As used herein, “Building Standard” or “Building Standards” means the quality and quantities of materials typically employed by Landlord for standard improvements elsewhere in the Building. Landlord shall engage a general contractor for the performance of all Landlord Improvements. Landlord reserves the right (i) after notice to Tenant, to make substitutions of material of equivalent grade and quality when and if any specified material shall not be readily and reasonably available, and (ii) to make changes

1


 

necessitated by conditions met during the course of construction, provided that Tenant’s approval of any material change shall first be obtained (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as there shall be general conformity with the Final Plans).
               2.2. In connection with the Landlord Improvements, Landlord will obtain and enforce the one (1) year warranty given to Landlord by its general contractor under the AIA, A107 contract as follows, or in a substantially similar form: “The Contractor warrants to the Owner that materials and equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents, that the Work will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted, and that the Work will conform with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation or normal wear and tear and normal usage.” To the extent that Landlord’s contractor fails to perform its obligations under the warranty, Landlord will perform such obligations. Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of the cost of repair, replacement or correction of defects in materials and construction of the Landlord Improvements during the period such warranty remains in effect, unless caused by Tenant.
          3. Changes. If Tenant requests changes to the Landlord Improvements, including changes to the Preliminary Plans, Tenant shall pay the entire cost of such changes. The total cost shall be equal to Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the changes, including Landlord’s direct out-of-pocket costs, overhead fee and administration fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) as well as any fees payable to Landlord’s general contractor which shall not exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%). Landlord shall not be obligated to commence work on the Landlord Improvements unless and until Tenant agrees to pay the additional cost involved in completing the Landlord Improvements, either from changes to the Final Plans or as a result of differences between the Final Plans and the Preliminary Plans (and, if requested by Landlord, Tenant provides reasonable assurances of such payment), and any delay occasioned by the decision of Tenant whether to pay the difference or to revise the Final Plans or working drawings (as the case may be) and any delay of Tenant to provide such assurances, shall be deemed a Tenant-caused delay under this Lease, and shall not delay the Commencement Date or the date upon which rent commences to accrue hereunder. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all additional costs of Landlord Improvements due to changes requested by Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by Tenant of an invoice or invoices therefor (which invoice or invoices, at Landlord’s election, may be presented from time to time prior to, upon, or following the Commencement Date of the term hereof, but not more frequently than once a month). Landlord will provide reasonable backup information with each invoice to verify the additional cost of the Landlord Improvements due to Tenant’s requested changes.
          4. Access.
               4.1 Landlord shall afford Tenant and its employees, agents and contractors access to the Concourse Space, at reasonable times prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, and at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, for the purposes of inspecting and verifying the performance

2


 

and completion of the Landlord Improvements. Tenant shall inspect the performance of Landlord Improvements regularly and diligently and shall advise Landlord promptly of any objections to the performance of the work. Access for such purposes shall not be deemed to constitute possession or occupancy. Landlord shall promptly undertake and diligently prosecute the correction of any defective work of which it is notified as aforesaid.
               4.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, commencing thirty (30) days prior to Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements, Tenant shall have access to the Concourse Space for the purposes of installing telecommunications wiring and cabling, and commencing fifteen (15) days prior to Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements, Tenant shall have access to the Concourse Space for the purposes of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment in preparation for tenant’s occupancy of the Concourse Space. In connection with such access, Tenant agrees (i) to cease promptly upon notice from Landlord any activity or work which has not been approved by Landlord (where such approval is required) or is not in compliance with the provisions of the Lease or which shall interfere with or delay the performance of the Landlord Improvements, and (ii) to comply and cause its contractors to comply promptly with all reasonable procedures and regulations prescribed by Landlord from time-to-time for coordinating work being performed by Landlord and work being performed by Tenant, each with the other, and with any other activity or work in the Building. Such access by Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all the applicable provisions of the Lease, except that (a) there shall be no obligation on the part of Tenant solely because of such access to pay Minimum Rent or any Additional Rent on account of Operating Expenses or Taxes for any period prior to the Commencement Date, and (b) Tenant shall not be deemed thereby to have taken or accepted possession of the Concourse Space or any portion thereof. If Tenant fails or refuses to comply or cause its contractor to comply with any of the obligations described or referred to above, then immediately upon notice to Tenant, Landlord may revoke Tenant’s right of access to the Concourse Space until the Commencement Date.
          5. Tenant’s Contractors. Tenant may at its sole expense select and employ its own contractors for specialized or finishing work in the Concourse Space which is not to be performed by Landlord and which is reflected as such in Tenant’s Final Plans, such as telephone installation, installation of computer and other specialized equipment, special cabinetwork and millwork, and other similar decoration and installation, subject to the following qualifications, conditions and limitations:
               5.1. Tenant shall first obtain the approval of Landlord in writing of the specific work it proposes to perform and shall furnish Landlord with reasonable information requested by Landlord (such approval by Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
               5.2. The work shall be performed by responsible contractors and subcontractors, properly licensed to work and approved in advance by Landlord. Notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of any contractor or subcontractor, none of Tenant’s contractors and/or subcontractors shall, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, prejudice Landlord’s relationship with Landlord’s contractors or subcontractors, or the relationship between the contractors and their subcontractors or employees, or disturb harmonious labor relations. Each of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall, unless prohibited by applicable law, prior to the commencement of any

work, file waivers of mechanics’ liens on account of the work to be performed by any of Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers and execute an indemnification agreement satisfactory to Landlord agreeing, inter alia, to repair any damage to the Building and to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all damage and loss incurred by Landlord as a result of work performed by Tenant, the general contractor and/or its subcontractor(s);
               5.3. Tenant shall have sole responsibility for compliance with Governmental Requirements, and shall at its expense procure all permits necessary with respect to the work to be performed by Tenant’s contractors or subcontractors;
               5.4. No such work shall be performed in such manner or at such times as to interfere with any work being done by any of Landlord’s contractors or subcontractors in the Concourse Space or in the Building generally. Landlord shall endeavor, however, to allow Tenant access for such work prior to commencement of the term of this Lease, at the earliest time consistent with the remainder of this subsection;
               5.5. Tenant and its contractors and subcontractors shall be solely responsible for the transportation, storage and safekeeping of materials and equipment used in the performance of any work, for the removal of waste and debris resulting therefrom on a daily basis, and for any damage caused by them to any installations or work performed by Landlord’s contractors and subcontractors; and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall each deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance indicating contractor liability in amounts and with companies and otherwise satisfactory to Landlord, and naming the Concourse Space as an insured site; and
               5.6. Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall be subject to the general administrative supervision of Landlord’s general contractor for scheduling purposes, but Landlord’s general contractor shall not be responsible for any aspect of the work performed by Tenant’s contractors or subcontractors, or for the coordination of the work of Landlord’s contractors with Tenant’s contractors or subcontractors.
          6. Concerning Substantial Completion. In addition to (and subject to) the description of “Substantial Completion” found elsewhere in the Lease, it is further agreed that the Concourse Space shall be deemed “substantially complete” even though minor or insubstantial matters or details of construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration remain to be performed, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Concourse Space or the conduct of its business therein, which items shall be completed by Landlord within thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion, to the extent within Landlord’s reasonable control. If not within Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord will diligently pursue completion of such items and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete same as soon as reasonably practicable.
          7. Delay.
               7.1. Delay Generally. If Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of the Concourse Space to Tenant on the date specified for commencement of the term of this Lease because a certificate of occupancy has not been procured or because of the holding over or retention

of possession of any tenant or occupant, or if repairs, improvements or decoration of the Concourse Space, or of the Building, are not completed, or because of the operation of a “force majeure” (which shall mean any delay in performance hereunder caused by any event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord including, without limitation, labor disputes, civil commotion, war, war-like operations, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military power, sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain material or services, or acts of God), or for any other reason, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability to Tenant except as expressly provided in the Lease. Under such circumstances, except as set forth below, the rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until possession of the Concourse Space is given or the Concourse Space is available for occupancy by Tenant. No such failure to give possession or other delay shall in any other respect affect the validity of this Lease or any obligation of the Tenant hereunder (except as to the date of commencement of accrual of rent).
          7.2. Tenant Delay. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease (including, without limitation, this Exhibit “F-1”) to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Landlord Improvements resulting from a Tenant Delay (as defined below) shall constitute a delay caused by Tenant and for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1. (ii) of the Lease. For purposes of this Lease, a “Tenant Delay” shall mean a delay in the completion of the Landlord Improvements resulting from any one or more of the following: (i) Tenant’s failure to comply with any of the obligations of Tenant set forth in this Exhibit “F-1” within the time(s) specified; (ii) Tenant’s failure to approve any Final Plans submitted to Tenant for approval; and/or (iii) the actions or omissions of Tenant, or any agent, employee or other party acting on behalf of Tenant.

b.   Neither this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the related loan documents, nor the Lease shall, prior to any acquisition of Landlord’s Premises by Lender, operate to give rise to or create any responsibility or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Landlord’s Premises upon the Lender, or impose responsibility for the carrying out by Lender of any of the covenants, terms or conditions of the Lease, nor shall said instruments operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Landlord’s Premises by any party whatsoever, or for dangerous or defective conditions of the Landlord’s Premises, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Landlord’s Premises, which may result in loss, injury or death to Tenant, or to any tenant, licensee, invitee, guest, employee, agent or stranger.
